    That’s freshman 15. My daughter is a junior in college and she and her friends all gained 15 or more pounds when they went off to school. They had to make their own food choices without parents making sure they weren’t filling up with junk. Last semester she got sick of eating all the junk and is again making better choices that we taught her about while she was under our care. She has lost weight by making better choices.

    I can assure you, it was a damn sight more than 15 kilos...I weighed 70kg at one point in uni. I left uni weighing at least 95kg.

    Btw, she went to the dentist after going to college for a year and they told her she did a good job of taking care of her teeth. They said most kids come home with lots of plaque and bleeding gums and cavities because they stopped brushing their teeth when they went away to college. Mom wasn’t there to tell them to brush. So they just stopped.

    That is possibly one of the most gross disgusting things I have heard today. What is wrong
    with those people? You shouldn't need someone to remind you to brush? Are these adults or kindergartners?
