Need more proof that time is flying? Heather Dubrow’s youngest child, Ace, is already thinking about college.
How to Watch
The Real Housewives of Orange County mom shared an update on her 14-year-old son in a recent interview with The Daily Dish, just weeks before Ace began his freshman year of high school.

“You know, he’s got a [college] guidance counselor he’s talking to already,” Heather said. “Because, you know, you’ve got to start young, figuring out.”
Heather’s husband, Dr. Terry Dubrow, revealed that Ace had just spent two weeks at Oxford University in England, where he completed an economics program.
“It was purely directed by him,” Heather added. “[Ace] found the program, applied, got in, the whole thing. It was great.”
Where do Heather and Terry Dubrow’s kids go to college?
The Dubrows are no strangers to the college admissions journey. Their oldest kids, 21-year-old twins Maximillia and Nicholas Dubrow, are enrolled at Tufts University in Boston and Loyal Marymount University in Los Angeles, respectively. Their second-oldest daughter, 18-year-old Katarina Dubrow, is also beginning her first year at Yale University, where she is majoring in film studies.

Heather reflected on Kat’s first day on campus in the August 20 episode of Between Us, her and Terry’s newly launched podcast series. The parents said Kat’s move-in day was unlike anything they’ve ever experienced… which was both “good” and “bad.”

“We must talk about college drop-off because oh my gosh,” Heather said. “So, you all know we have four kids. We’ve done this twice. And we’ve done this more than twice because there was the freshman-year move-in for Max and Nicky; there was the freshman move-out; there was the sophomore-year dorm move-in — we’ve done this a number of times, plus all the summer programs they went to, all that kind of thing… but that was intense, man.”
Heather began by highlighting one of the “good” parts of Kat’s move-in day: the induction ceremony for the freshman class.

“I mean, was that not incredible?” she said about the event. “Their choir was amazing, and the speeches that the dean gave… It was totally Harry Potter… Very Harry Potter-esque.”
Heather and Terry recalled seeing all the faculty in staff donning robes while surrounded by “gorgeous” but “creepy” buildings. They said they were particularly moved by the speeches, which emphasized the importance of “grit,” “community,” and “inclusivity.”
“How many times did we cry? We cried a lot,” the OC mom said.
“Yale knows how to do an induction ceremony,” Terry added.
Terry Dubrow jokes about the unpleasant parts of college move-in day
Heather took to Instagram over the weekend to share several peeks at Kat’s college drop-off. She said the posts garnered “thousands” of messages from parents who were experiencing the bittersweet moment of sending their kids off to school. However, Terry admitted that move-in day wasn’t entirely mushy.
“Just so you know, when you drop your kids off at college — unless you have a different experience than we had — your kids are going to be douchey,” he said.
Heather explained that Kat was on edge throughout the day, which was understandable, considering she was about to embark on a major life change.
“Kat is such a sweet, wonderful child, but even she knew she was edgy,” Heather recalled. “She was nervous, of course — totally normal.”
“It made it so easy to leave,” Terry joked about the situation. “At some point, I was going, ‘I’m so out of here. Thanksgiving? Forget it. Maybe for Christmas, but you’re just gonna sleep here the whole year.’”
Heather reiterated that Kat normally has a calm, sweet demeanor, but the transition was obviously affecting her mood.
“She really wasn’t even that bad, but for her, it was a change of character because she’s really not like that at all,” the Housewife explained. “But the great thing is that she’s already made some great friends… I just know she’s gonna have the best time there. She’s perfect for that place.”
