OP - You have to do what you feel is in your daughter's best interest.  However, do keep abreast of the timelines on the calendar as if she is headed south within certain caelndar dates, you can request a withdrawal due to health reasons or if towards the end of the semester she is able to pass most but not all classes, then perhaps an incomplete can be requested.   These are tools you need to consider useful as needed to both give her the freedom to learn and also to mitigate  at least issues really beyond her control at the time (if they come up) in terms of failure.

Not knowing the social rules of the college she is attending, have you addressed various possible social situations which might come up with a new roommate from varying backgrounds, experience and values.  Does your daughter have a clue about how to negotiate appropriate rules or boundaries of say alcohol, drugs and day or overnight visitors?
And, of course, you need to talk about such scenarios both from the idea of her or the other girl wanting to do whatever.....[/quote]
