[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah no since it is driven by you and not her, this is not a good idea.

You want her to hagn around the house and be depressed?

She got into a good school. She says she wants to go.

Have her do the random selection for roommates. She doesn't need to pick someone out.

DO make sure she gets the housing info in. Kids who turn their housing info in past the deadline get screwed on housing often.

+1. Its June. I assume she is either just graduating or will be soon. Sounds like she needs a mental health break, and she'll get it, it's called summer. Let her enjoy the summer, hang with friends and eventually she will get more motivated. If you are threatening her to keep her home for a year, that is going to backfire. Back off.

My DD didn't want to deal with college stuff either for a while over the summer. Sh was very excited about the school she was going to and had a roommate but refused even think about shopping for college stuff until mid  to late July. It's a huge transition and for her, she just wasn't ready to fully dive in until it got a little closer to the first day of school. and that is FINE.[/quote]

+1.  These kids are so exhausted after being in these competitive AP or bust environments.  And horrible, competitive college admissions.   It’s unhealthy, I think.  Let your DD rest [/quote]
