Identical triplets start freshman year at UNC

GREELEY - Throughout life, Jerod, Justin and Jason Parker have stuck together.

The identical triplets grew up together in the rural town of Bennett, they played instruments together and, now, they're going to college together.

This fall, they all started taking classes at the University of Northern Colorado.

As you might guess, the brothers are rooming together.

"You don't have to worry so much about what everybody else thinks because you have two people right there who love you and will do anything for you," Jerod said.

As for tuition, there's no triplet discount.

"It costs about $18,000 to go here (a year)," Justin said.

Fortunately, all three received financial aid packages.

While the trio plans to stick together for the next four years, they may have to or want to separate afterwards.

Jerod is majoring in music education, Justin is majoring in psychology and Jason is looking to get a double major in biology and business administration.
