We've been meaning to get to our bank to change our son's checking account to remove our names from it. When he opened it (around 16), we had to be co-owners of the account, but he's 18 now, so we need to change that, as he hasn't had the ability to do things like mobile banking because of the type of account. When we go do that, I figured I'd ask about a credit card. If nothing else, we figured we'd have him apply for a low credit limit card just to have one (and begin creating credit).
We just found out that his college is discontinuing their pre-orientation program that they used to offer, where they would have a 2-3 day program of various activities, like hiking and climbing, etc. He was looking forward to doing that (and meeting kids as well) and we were looking forward to getting him moved in a couple days earlier as well. Oh well, I guess we're moving in with the whole crowd.
