[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your son is being a spoiled brat and you're enabling this.
He should apply to Tufts for post grad. and get on with what he has to do now.

And change his room mate.[/quote]

Wow, glad you weren't helping me make my decisions growing up.[/quote]

The decision was made long ago to accept and attend Emroy. This isn't about making decisions it's about being a snowflake.[/quote]

The decision was made less than a year ago under what sounds like intense pressure from an overbearing parent. Calling someone a spoiled brat or a snowflake when the decision was never fully theirs in the first place is unfair.[/quote]

No it's not unfair, it's just practical. Kid has gone to a terrific college and is whining about his room mate and the "atmosphere". He's been there how long?[/quote]

He's been there 4-5 months. You've never decided after 4-5 DAYS that you're never going back to a 5-star restaurant or hotel?[/quote]

That's a weird analogy. I don't think I've ever committed to spend 4 years at any hotel or restaurant. And I don't think a college is purely a service provider. It's an institution which has invested in its students and where the students have committed to work hard and contribute.

Maybe come back when you've got a new idea, one that actually works?[/quote]

I did say DAYS, and meant to add HOURS for the restaurant. But no, if you don't get the analogy, I don't think there's any point in coming back.[/quote]
