They aren't prepared for life in university because Elly never realized what her parents had to do to get her accepted and because John doesn't realize that she doesn't. He farms out raising his children to a woman whom he knows to be a blithering imbecile who needs to have her hand held but chee, he can't understand why the kids are so ill-prepared for the real damn world.
"Does it cost a lot to go to university?" Maybe, but that has nothing to do with the check your mom is writing, Liz. More to the point, it costs a lot of money to raise a spoiled brat and to continue to enable that spoiled brat.
And I continue to be astounded at the convoluted logic of Elly's "you'll be writing checks to ME" response to Liz. Liz needs to pay her mother for the privilege of not making her mother pay for her college tuition? Liz isn't saying she will continue to live at home, only that she might not go to college. How does Elly plan to extract a penalty from her daughter for failing to go to college?
Finally, we see Elly waxing poetic about how "the boys" have their plans all set. Even when this strip was originally published, "he's going into Journalism" would have been met with an eyeroll from anyone who understood anything about the job market. It's about as marketable as a degree in English. And since Michael basically drops out of the job market well before the age of thirty, his degree in Journalism

It is the sad situation that Lynn writes comic strips about college applications that shows she knows nothing about college applications.
