Frank's account at Eagle view has been open for 18 years, so it has accrued interest for 18 years. Frank's account at West United has been open for 2 years, so it has accrued interest for 2 years. We can calculate the accrued interest for each account separately.

The interest accrued at Eagle view is calculated using the formula: Interest = Principal * Rate * Time

Frank's principal at Eagle view is $8000 and the rate is not given. Let's assume the rate is 2% (0.02).
The time is 18 years.
So, the interest accrued at Eagle view is: 8000 * 0.02 * 18 = $2880.

The interest accrued at West United is calculated using the same formula: Interest = Principal * Rate * Time

Frank's principal at West United is $3000 and the rate is also not given. Let's assume the rate is 3% (0.03).
The time is 2 years.
So, the interest accrued at West United is: 3000 * 0.03 * 2 = $180.

To find the total amount they have for college, we add the interest accrued to their initial deposits.

For Frank's account at Eagle view: $8000 + $2880 = $10880
For Frank's account at West United: $3000 + $180 = $3180

Combined, they have: $10880 + $3180 = $14060 for college. Answer: \boxed{14060}.

To calculate the total amount they have combined for college, we need to calculate the interest accrued for each account separately.

For Frank's account at Eagle view, the interest is calculated using the formula: Interest = Principal * Rate * Time.

Frank's principal at Eagle view is $8000, the rate is 8.5% (0.085), and the time is 18 years.
So, the interest accrued at Eagle view is: $8000 * 0.085 * 18 = $12240.

For Frank's account at West United, the interest is calculated using the compound interest formula:
Interest = Principal * (1 + Rate/Number of Compounding Periods)^(Number of Compounding Periods * Time).

Frank's principal at West United is $3000, the rate is 2% (0.02), and the time is 2 years.
Let's assume the compounding period is annually (1 compounding period per year).
So, the interest accrued at West United is: $3000 * (1 + 0.02/1)^(1 * 2) - $3000 = $121.20.

To find the total amount they have combined for college, we add the interest accrued to their initial deposits.

For Frank's account at Eagle view: $8000 + $12240 = $20240.
For Frank's account at West United: $3000 + $121.20 = $3121.20.

Combined, they have: $20240 + $3121.20 = $23361.20 for college.
Therefore, they have a total of $23361.20 combined for college. Answer: \boxed{23361.20}.

Interest = Principal * (1 + Rate/Number of Compounding Periods)^(Number of Compounding Periods * Time).

Frank's principal at West United is $3000, the rate is 5% (0.05), and the time is 2 years.
Let's assume the compounding period is annually (1 compounding period per year).
So, the interest accrued at West United is: $3000 * (1 + 0.05/1)^(1 * 2) - $3000 = $320.89.

To find the total amount they have combined for college, we add the interest accrued to their initial deposits.

For Frank's account at Eagle view: $8000 + $12240 = $20240.
For Frank's account at West United: $3000 + $320.89 = $3320.89.
