[quote=Anonymous]My oldest was also very happy in high school and struggled a ton his freshman year. I think kids who had great high school experiences can feel VERY unmoored in college especially if they go where they don't know anyone else. It is a very new feeling for them. His freshman year of college was a huge hit to his ego socially and academically and he was miserable, probably more than he let on. He was preparing transfer apps in Feb and March. However, something clicked in late March which was a turning point for him and he decided he didn't want to transfer after all. He is a senior now and is already sad about having to graduate in May. I think he dropped some expectations, started bonding with a few people in the spring, and changed his major which made him feel less 'trapped' and that he had more autonomy that he realized. He also knew he would be getting a car for his sophomore year and I think that helped him too. [/quote]
