[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have heard George Mason does really well with this type of kid.

Ask on the special needs forum[/quote]

He was admitted to a few colleges and loved this one. We are confident that he’d do well academically, with supports, but housing or the ability to stay off campus is also needed for him to be successful.

He was also admitted to Ursinus and we turned the spot down. I’m thinking I’ll reach back out to their admissions to see if they allow off campus housing.

It’s so frustrating. We asked the right questions but didn’t ask the right people, I guess.

Find the fight.  If you were promised something and your kid was counting on it, this is serious business.  Matriculation plans are critical.

I would go up the chain.  Sometimes deans and administrators are more chill than little people who have no authority.

Also, I had a bad freshman roommate.  So I feel for people who are forced into awkward circumstances on all sides.[/quote]

I disagree with this. If the college doesn't get this, there will likely be more problems down the line. Find a place that's more supportive where you won't have to fight. [/quote]

+1. My kid’s school is not that neurodivergent friendly and it has been hard.[/quote]
