[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, make her go back. She needs to grow up at some point, and you don't just quit right away when things get tough. Make her finish the year (I assume freshman year?). If it's not better by May, then I would consider another plan. but I also wouldn't just dump her in the deep end. Some more convos about what exactly is wrong, what could be changed. Maybe she needs to get involved with an activity (or different activity) on campus. Maybe learn roommate skills, study skills, who knows. It could be anything. I'd do a little more intervention - but don't let her quit just yet![/quote] Very bad advice. Might work for a very few, but most 18 year olds I know (and I was one) would respond very badly to this. I took two years off after highschool because I knew I wasn't ready. When I finally went, it was because I really wanted to and did extremely well. [/quote]
