[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so glad to hear these reports. I am a prof at a top 10 school and an advisor to freshman this year. I think on average they are more unhappy and more disconnected and more tired than I have seen students. I have at least 2 in crisis and a few I can tell are struggling but putting on a brave face. I did see some students look genuinely happy. I feel for these kids - this is such a tough transition, always, but especially this year. Take care all!  And if there are things profs can do would love to hear, although like everyone else we are exhausted. [/quote]

My DD has struggled mightily this year. Much more drinking that she expected - and though she drinks and goes out regularly, it's even alot for her.  Took her awhile to find her balance there.  Socially she's doing ok but yes big transition from COVID junior and senior years.  Big school, trying to find resources and get to know profs is harder.  I think she'll make it out alive LOL come December and be better prepared to really hit the ground running in January when she returns.[/quote]

This outcome is so predictable. I never understood the appeal of a big school. But...to each his own.[/quote]

This is why it seems big schools are easier socially and small schools are easier academically. Makes for a tough decision that is very dependent on your kid’s personality. [/quote]
