Answer
unfortunately cars do not have a predictable breakdown characteristic; you have covered the expensive and common issues for a car with that mileage.  I would check the CV joints on the driveshafts, and the rubber bellows around them.  Other than that, if tires and radiator are all OK, plus the work you have done, he is better prepared with a car at college then I ever was...  Good luck,  Jan
