[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all, OP here.

He says the classes are boring so far.  I think it's only been day one of classes and some of his courseload probably is boring.

I know it's only been a week and I'm understanding and not panicked too badly. But he seems really upset. In the past, he has struggled with anxiety - I just don't want him to fall deeper.

Appreciate the advice - I will try to give it to him but he seems closed off to me except the one teary conversation.[/quote]

I'm the pp with the dd we are bringing home.  We are getting our money back for her dorm and food plan.  float that by him and see if he wants to come home.[/quote]

This. The usual freshman activities where students usually meet really aren't feasible, unless they are living in self contained teams / pods or something.

Freshman classes usually start off slow, but faculty and staff are also probably worried this year and trying to plan for inevitable long distance instruction as well as current in person. You could advise ds to talk to the RA. But if it's still like this in a few weeks or a month, discuss whether he would like to come home.[/quote]
