[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parenting is ok, it is just now parenting a young adult. I assume the parents are paying college tuition so they, indeed, are involved if this is the case. Kids need to stop thinking they can go party and waste four years on parents’ money.

Okay? Fine? So you're suggesting that the parent threaten the student that the tuition money will be gone unless they comply? That's a straight-up recipe to get your kid to never trust or go to you again in any situation.

OP - This situation sucks. But she's a freshman. She's 18 and she's experimenting with her freedom and her new friends. I would be big money that she'll be tired of all of this by Christmas break and start the next semester off right. If not, you have your chance to speak to her then. But- for now- don't lose your daughter's trust by attempting to go behind her back for some sort of in loco parentis actions by the administration. For one, they probably will shake their head at you and, in addition, she's an adult.

Hold on tight and trust in your daughter. [/quote]
