What Kids Should Know Before Leaving Home

<p>LAUNDRY is probably Number One on the list!
1. If you're going to send him to college with a comforter & a duvet, show him that they come apart and need to be laundered separately. </p>

<ol>
<li> Teach him how to get the mildew smell out of bedding that has been left in the machine for a day or two. Spray & Wash liquid works wonders. The dots won't come out, but the smell will. Febreeze is handy for spraying over-ripe shirts in-between washings.<br></li>
</ol>

<p>NIGHT TIME STREET SMARTS
1. Campuses roads can be deceiving, particularly at night. Campus drivers frequently speed, and new freshmen need to be careful during the first week not to run out into the street. </p>

<ol>
<li> Going into town 'til the wee hours of the morning? What to do when they miss the last bus back up to campus? Carry cab fare and a couple of local cab phone numbers.</li>
</ol>
