Did they have a hard time socially or grades or both?

Do they want to go back?

[b]If it’s grades Cs get degrees they go back you encourage [/b]

If they don’t want to go back then the option is community college period

NP and that's not how it works in my world. I'm not paying $45,000 a semester for Cs because DC is too tired/ busy/ distracted/ bored etc to go to class. [/quote]

NP and wow, you are a peach.  What are you paying all that money for?  I want my kid to have a healthy, productive and joyful life where they can support themself.   I do not pretend to know what path that will take.  I also want them to work hard and they always have.  If, however, they were struggling (and struggling can look a lot like tired/busy/distracted/bored) my first response would not be I am not paying for that.  I would rather my kid have a degree with Cs than  no degree.  My undergrad would not have impressed you but my ultimate career would impress many (probably not you but I don’t really care).

In any event, the cost of dropping out can be very high, I would rather the degree even with poor grades.  [/quote]
