Sample scenario walkthrough

A student freezes a choice then panics. Right move: read freeze rules again, list upgrade risk in money terms, and only slide if the family can travel and pay without borrowing that night.

Student mental health and family calm

Keep phones away during dinner. One family spokesperson handles rumours so the student is not answering twenty relatives. Praise effort, not only rank.
