Unless she's driving instead of going to classes, she really shouldn't be putting a ton of miles on. Have it gone through, plugs, antifreeze, brakes and bearings checked, oil change, hoses checked and replaced if needed, make sure it has a good battery, replace if ANY doubt, buy a jump pack and tell her DO NOT LOAN IT OUT, IT STAYS IN THE CAR, PERIOD. Tires should be good.
My kiddo made it all the way through college and several years beyond plus a couple Co-op jobs in Texas in a 1995 Ford Escort wagon with no issues. He graduated HS in 2008 and got the car in 2006 for $1200.
I did toss in one radiator after he graduated college due to a VERY small leak. Other then that, just regular maintenance, 2 brake jobs, a set of tires, and a exhaust flex pipe.
If she loans the car out, it'll be beat to shit in a year.
