The transition from high school student to college student is a big one for both the student and their parents. College means a brand new era of independence, especially for students living on campus. For allergic students, like every other milestone, safely managing allergies in the process of these changes adds another layer of considerations to navigate. The good news is that a little bit of planning can go a long way.
