Milania Giudice held on tightly to mom Teresa Giudice while being dropped off for her freshman year at the University of Tampa.
The 18-year-old’s eyes welled up with tears as she said goodbye to the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star, per a video posted to Instagram Monday.
She pouted at the camera as she rested her head on Teresa’s chest while the TV personality smiled.
Another clip showed Milania hugging her stepfather, Louie Ruelas, while a third showed the college freshman waving goodbye as they left the Florida campus.
“And she’s off♥️ leaving you this morning; I know you will do amazing things and make Mommy so proud at the University of Tampa,” Teresa, 52, captioned the post.
“Today is the start of a new, exciting chapter! I love you so much and can’t wait to watch everything you accomplish over these next four years♥️♥️.”
The reality star also gave a glimpse inside Milania’s dorm room, which featuring a twin-sized bed with framed Chanel photos on the wall and a neon sign spelling out the teen’s name.
Before saying goodbye, the mother-daughter duo went shopping and watched John Legend perform at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sunday, according to clips posted to Teresa’s Instagram Story.
On Thursday, Milania left the comfort of her New Jersey home to embark on her college career.
Her 23-year-old sister, Gia, took to TikTok to document Milania packing up her belongings in five suitcases and heading to the airport.
“I’m a little bit sad right now, leaving,” Milania said in the video, adding, “But it’s OK.”
The sisters were choked up as they hugged outside the airport before Milania headed inside with their mom.
Milania revealed she would attend college in the Sunshine State in May.
That same month, she closed out the final weeks of high school with her prom followed by her graduation in June.
Teresa shares daughters Gia, Gabriella, 20, Milania and Audriana, 14, with her ex-husband, Joe Giudice.
