I could see going through the money at a private institution, but the problem is clear when she whines about what her parents owe her and that she expects them to go into their retirement account.
If she had a job and worked her way through college, that would have given her enough money to make that 90 k last all four years with no trouble.
It’s the entitlement mentality and blaming her parents that reveals the issue.
Good for her parents for not bailing her out.
OTOH, they raised her.

=== Its tough to find - or get into - a first rate college in America that charges less than $30,000 a year for tuition, room, board, books, fees, and (usually) health insurance. ---
In my old age I find it hard to take the idea of a "first rate" college seriously. I can think of 10-20 liberal arts colleges that would be truly worthwhile, none of them Ivy League schools.
Just about any technical school will provide a good technical education, but it won't be a well-rounded education.
My oldest is working her way through state college and commuting from home. She has her feet squarely on the ground. She is at the top of her class and will graduate with an MA in elementary ed in five years --with no debt.
Most of the kids living on campus are still in the puking-on-their-shoes stage of development.
Is it a great education? No. Is it passable? Yes. Is there a lot of PC crap? Yes. But she knows how to deal with it. And surprisingly, most of her professors have not been moonbats. She even had a Jewish professor who was disgusted with the students' ignorance of Christian history.
She's told me that for 80% of her class, religion is something that they've heard of. Fortunately she has run into several devout Catholics and Protestants who really stand out from the rest. You have to feel bad for the religiously ignorant kids who have been thrown, bound and gagged, onto the street of life.

Or maybe she could drop out of college. It doesn't seem like they're teaching her personal responsibility or economic responsibility or common sense.
I'm sure there were people on my dorm floor who weren't quite sure where their next meals were coming from. And yet, they were pulling through somehow.
DANG!

I have a (former) friend who did the same thing.
Not once but twice.
He finally earned a pretty bs BA in his late 30s by driving school buses for $10/hour.

My bet is that she is too selfish and ugly to the bone for even a sugar daddy.Nope. I saw a picture of her in DailyMail. Looks like Paris Hilton.

If the grandparents willed it to her without supervision the parents had nothing they could control.
The grandparents made a mistake and did not put the parents in charge and stipulate it was only for books and tuition.
In any case I hope this year the young lady gets to finish her beauty school for hairdressing, it can be a long hard road.

I pray for this entire generation often.

She wasted it. Most notably on a trip to Europe. I heard a saying once: “ I spent all my money on wine, women and song. The rest I just wasted. “
