[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who are advising OP to keep her DD home... what are you afraid of? What do you think will happen if her DD goes off to school and fails?

The worst that I see is that she flunks her classes and doesn't adjust socially. If that happens, OP can bring her home and enroll her in community college in spring. Plenty of kids have simiiar experiences and go on to regroup and find success. [/quote]

That she'll have a huge mental health meltdown and be in a much worse state than if she just stayed home now, or worse yet, harm herself.

That her bad semester will really damage her overall GPA.

That OP will lose whatever money could have been refunded, plus a lot of travel and hassle dealing with her meltdown.

That there's really no harm in letting her try to pack her own stuff as a learning experience.  Worst-case, some stuff is brought later, or she gets there a day late.

That OP needs to find the money for the neuropsych because it's going to be needed sooner or later.
