[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD got off to a rough start this year and it hasn’t gotten much better. She is at a large state flagship (not DMV). Tried out for a sport in the fall but got cut at the final round, so she lost a lot of opportunity to connect with others outside the sport. Came back in the spring and is still struggling to find friends.

I have read and shared plenty of articles about what she should do. I don’t need advice. I just need to know I am not alone and that next year will be better. I hate getting phone calls with her sobbing every couple weeks.[/quote]

My daughter was miserable freshman year; hated her roommate, classes were much harder than expected, and she was worried about flunking one.  She was very down and discouraged.  We just got back today from her graduation this weekend; She got out in 4 years, Magna Cum Laude and loved her time there.  College was a tough transition for her, and there were bumps along the way but it steadily got better.   Best of luck that it works out the same for your daughter.[/quote]

Aww. Thanks for sharing and congrats!
