In August 2018, Paige began attending the University of Arkansas. Her mother paid tribute to her child saying in an Instagram post, “Red nose, trembling chin, tight throat, aching heart. Leaving your child at college is no picnic. I’ve done it once before and thought maybe this time would be a little easier. I think it’s a little harder. Through all the tears, I see this clearly: What a joy it is to usher her into the next stage of her life. Paige, I’m so grateful to be your mom.” Ree wrote in a 2016 blog that she was “in that stage right now where I assume Paige will always be here. I made that mistake with Alex.”

A couple of days before that post, Ree posted a photo celebrating her daughter’s achievements saying, “My sweet beautiful girl leaves for college this week. I have no words. I actually do have words, but I can’t let them out right now for fear the dam will break.” Upon taking up residence at the school, Paige’s dorm room design was covered by Southern Living.

In February 2019, Paige took her sorority sisters to her home in Pawhuska. Her mother posted a photo of the gettogether with the caption, “Paige and her Arkansas friends, Fayettechillin’ on the ranch. Walter was honored to be a part of their sorority, if only for a day. #kappakappabasset.” Paige is a member of the University of Arkansas’ Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. Ree wrote in a blog post that one of Paige’s sorority sisters, Mary, worked as an intern for the family before attending college.

When discussing parenting, Ree has a reputation as a strict parent. Prior to Paige’s arrest, she was quoted as saying that she did not want to use the word “boyfriend” to describe the boys who hung around with her daughters. Ree told Radar Online that the reason she doesn’t use the word isn’t “in denial or afraid to face the fact” but is because she thinks it’s annoying to refer to people as her “daughter’s boyfriend.”

When blogging about her family’s 2018 July 4th celebrations, Ree said that Paige’s “nice friend Matt” was present “climbing the wall and riding the mechanical bull and having fun.”
