<font color="#880000">Their parents are....Well....

One set of parents spoiled my one friend too much [so these parents will let her do whatever], the other friend has parents that don't exist [she has lived with her grandmother all her life, and since her grandmother is not paying for college she doesn't have much say in the matter], the other has had unusual issues with her family since childhood making her less likely to listen to them if they protested......The last girl I'm unsure of, but I think her family situation is better....

Basically, the parents don't have much say....As a result, at least half of these girls won't have good guidence. Another reason for concern.....And another reason why I wish they would have listened to their other friend's concerns before they signed the lease [I'm not their only friend who thinks this is a bad idea] </font>
