I am hoping Tandem has the Third Update for its t:slim X2 from its published pipeline which is the Hybrid Closed Loop working with the Dexcom. The launch goal is late 2018. Hopefully this works out.

I would not trust a college roommate who is randomly picked by the Housing Office to help out with anything.

Alcohol is of course a concern. College campuses are obviously ripe with serious alcohol abuse.
