[quote=Anonymous]My DD is smart but not super motivated and can be an erratic student and struggle with schoolwork, partly due to ADD. We're considering a gap year. She is very excited about going away to college and doesn't really want to do a gap year. I've been thinking that maybe she could take a really light load, even part time, just to get used to college and ease into it. She would lose the merit aid she got but we would be able to pay by the credit hour (large state school oos) so it would end up being about the same. My two concerns are that she would have too much free time and also she might not be able to live in a dorm if she is part time. It might seem crazy to let her go away to school if she is only part, but if she takes a gap year we'd probably pay for outward bound or something else anyway. This way she gets used to college without a lot of academic pressure and can get a few credits. Any thoughts?[/quote]
