[quote=Anonymous]hello. ds is having a very hard time at college. he is about four hours away from home. his difficulties seems to be combination of rigor of the academics and having to live on his own. even though college is not full-fledged "adulting," taking care of himself while also taking classes seems to be overwhelming him. [b]we are looking into all kinds of supports and adjustments so that he can be successful.[/b] thankfully, his issues are not social. he has made friends and he likes the overall atmosphere of the school.

but even after we do make some supportive changes, it may not be enough. this kind of college may not be right for him at this time.

i'd be interested in hearing how things went for your child who left their residential college and returned home.

did they work full-time? did they go to community college? did they live at home? did they opt to leave themselves or were they more or less forced to because of academic probation?

any and all insights about what to expect if this unfolds for us would be helpful.
