My daughter is 18 and will be away at college 32 weeks/year. I want a family membership, but it looks like we could not have three >18 family members. Would you consider including >18 with student ID in family membership or adding a college rate?
Yes. That is an override we can do at our desk with proof of college enrollment. A valid college ID is perfect.
