My college recently decided that non vaccinated students would have to go into a 7 day quarantine when they arrive on campus. My dad has been pushing for me to get vaccinated for months, but I’m 18 and my mom has been on my side this whole time so he has basically been all bluster. However, now he’s gone full tilt into rage mode that I won’t do what he thinks is “best for the family.” He has moved all of my stuff from around the house into my bedroom and is telling me that “I wanted to give you the choice but you are getting vaccinated by Friday.” I’m holding firm but I just wanted to share another story about how these deranged psychos will tear everything apart for their narrative.

Drop any college that is trying to force vax people. You're only going to end up with leftist indoctrination from a place like that.
And at 18, you really should get out of your parents house anyways. Find a job that doesn't push vaxmask bullshit and get away from control freak dad. College can come later.
While I definitely understand culturally how we have slipped into pushing adulthood further and further back and understand the points about college. There are a few things to consider: 1. I am getting a degree in neuroscience which both means that the majority of my courses are hard science and is also a career that I can’t really pursue without a degree. 2. At home I am also helping to some degree to take care of my sick mother, and I don’t really want to leave when her remaining time is likely quite limited. Regardless, thank you for the advice. I did actually try to transfer to a more conservative college, like Hillsdale, but they rejected my transfer application despite my stats being way above their average (which makes me wonder if they do affirmative action like most schools, although to be fair it could simply be how many students are trying to transfer to conservative schools right now) so I’m likely stuck with this one at least for undergrad.
Jumping in here late. Broseph, if your dad is still insisting you must get vaccinated and you're taking that hardcore of a school load, I'd tell him you can't handle what all is going on along with not being in control of your own medical decisions.
Between the situation with your mom, school, having your stuff moved, and the overall state of the country, you're carrying quite a bit around. More than most. Forced vaccination on top of that may just be the straw that breaks the camel here.
Talk to your parents about this. Stand firm. Be honest. This is important for many reasons. You matter.
