When 'Ricky' or 'Wanda' arrive and state they have panic moments (trigger anxiety).....you need to hand them a business card with some instructions...."seek 'safety/comfort' in building X on campus, and stay there until an adult arrives to assess your maturity level to stay on campus".
After the assessment....if Ricky or Wanda can't handle adult life, then you need to call the parents and suggest that there's too much burden on the back of the kid.....come and get them.
If you try keeping the poor kid for four years....you are just operating a baby-sitting service where you have to warn all 20,000 students to walk on 'eggshells' because 3,000 of the 'kids' aren't capable of handling reality.
Plus, you have to manhandle the professors and instruct that they treat the special kids....extra-special. About a month into this....they will tell you this baby-sitting will cost you extra, and you begin to realize tuition isn't just tuition any longer....it's real simple deluxe baby-sitting.
That trigger-kid? Well....he or she will wrap up four years....have a degree of marginal value, and find that the next twenty years are crapped-up because they own $100k for baby-sitting. Go explain that to dad or mom.
