OP here. DC is also considering taking time off to work, but I worry they’ll never go back if they do. [/quote]

I wouldn't agree to that.  Why are they unhappy?  Can you get tutors?  Therapist?  Visit?  [/quote]

OP here. DC is doing okay (above a 3.4) academically, but she had no idea what a nightmare the housing climate would be in the town. Turns out we didn’t do our research and it’s a really wealthy, expensive suburban town where you have to find your own rentals. DC has always had severe sensory issues that have been exacerbated, and basically DC is too, I don’t know how to say this, fragile to deal with having to find housing in this way. DC basically needs to either live alone in a quiet area or in our house.

DC is also experiencing extreme homesickness. [/quote]

This explanation is concerning. Finding an apartment should not be the deal-breaker. You could go do that with her in a weekend. But I’m guessing that’s just an example? Or the tip of the iceberg? I think having her at home sounds like a good idea but work on making sure she knows she didn’t come home because you thought she couldn’t find an apartment! As I’m sure you’re aware, she will need to do that in 2 years in the real world.[/quote]
