[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone with a kid transferring out of CMU after one semester?  DS is a freshman, CS major at CMU, and he just came home this past weekend.  He is seriously considering not coming back for the spring semester.  Classes at CMU are too hard for him and the competition is so fierce.  He spent at least 80 hours a week just studying and tried to keep up with academics.  His older brother graduated from CMU in 2019 and advised him to transfer out of CMU.   Thoughts?[/quote]

Your son can't be coddled all his life. He should man up and study harder.[/quote]

What is wrong with you! The kid is putting in 80 hours already! OP, maybe try to get him some help in figuring out if he needs to change his approach to the work (change study technique etc.); if after this he still has the same results and still want to transfer out try to work with him.

this is great advice as it sounds like your kid feels a bit trapped and his approach isn’t working.  Reach out (him or you) and see if tutoring help is available - would be better for him (as long as it’s not becoming a real mental health concern) if he could at least stick out spring semester and look at transferring options during this time.

wish you guys luck, feel for ur kid - not fun[/quote]
