[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS had a very hard time academically at CMU last year; however, he decided to give it a try by coming back this year.  Based on the past two weeks, he feels like it is going to get much harder and he will not make it.  Today is the last day to drop classes for a full refund.  He wants to take off at least this semester to decide what he will do next, possibly transfer to a state school in Virginia.   He admitted that CMU is a difficult place to succeed even when he spends at least 70 hours a week to study and it is effecting his mental health.

Anyone with kids dropping out of CMU recently?  [/quote]

Totally let him do whatever works for him. His mental health is more important. He is a smart kud, who'll find something where his hard work makes him happy and successful.[/quote]

OP here.  DS just confirmed that he cancelled all of his classes for this semester and going home once he can find someone to take over his lease.  He will take off this semester and is looking into transfer.  He still wants to major in Computer Engineering at another university.

Wise of him and bravo to you for supporting him. [/quote]

My kid (douible major with CS and a STEM) is having a great time. Straight As first 2 years.  Wonderful friends, great relationships with professors, does several ECs.  Definitely a school for high achievers.[/quote]

OK. Great for your kid. Irrelevant for OP's DC. And quite an epic all-about-MY-kid brag to drop into to the thread. [/quote]
