[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the issues are not social and he likes the environment, that’s half the battle in my opinion. That’s very good that he’s socially comfortable there. It’s still new! Maybe he needs some more time to find his groove with time management and getting more organized. Lighter course load as Pp recommended. I’d give it some more time. Especially boys![/quote]

I agree with this. The family friends we have who left college left mostly because of mental health. One is still floundering (21). One has a full time job at a restaurant (24) and one took a year off to get help for an eating disorder and is back at college for her junior year. Those are all girls. One is a boy who was only 17 when he entered college and it was too much for him maturity-wise. He’s super smart. He took a year off and worked for Tesla and is back taking a small course load so as to not overwhelm himself.  If it’s not mental health I would say stick with it and retake a course or two or take a lighter load. College might have to take 5 years and that’s okay. [/quote]
