At 18 he's old enough to make his decision on what type of bike he would like. Will he be living on campus or commuting? If living on campus where would he keep it? If commuting, how long of a commute?

Not all campuses are the same as far as theft goes. Just teach him how to lock properly, where to lock, and what type of lock to use.

As far as bikes, let him make the decision. Its far more important the he enjoys riding the bike than the actual type.
