[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd bring her home, let her get a job and take some classes at the community college.

Something is a bad fit for her at that school - her major, the school itself - something isn't working for your dd.

She can take a little time to figure things out.  What you don't want to do is waste another semester mired in a situation that is just not working for her.[/quote]

If you are thinking of doing this, do this after another semester.  Tell her she can only take 4 classes next semester, not 5.  And lighten the difficulty level of classes.  She can take a PE class even to build some more fun in (and health exercise if she isn't getting any--that can ease depression and improve focus and energy if these are problems).  Encourage her to join a club.  Then she can either stay if things improve or do a gap year and apply to other schools.[/quote]

If she is in over her head in her classes, does she think it will help to reduce her course load?  Is she looking at transferring majors?  Does she want to transfer majors?  Is she suffering from a mood disorder or does she have reason to feel upset?
