[quote=Anonymous]My younger BIL flunked out of the same college, not once, but twice. After the first time he moved in with a relative and went to community college, and did fine. But when back at the larger college again, he couldn't keep up. His biggest issue was if he couldn't get an A, then the work was not worth doing. Some classes you just try to survive and get a C in...he, mentally, could not accept that, so if he got a bad grade then he just gave up in that class for the rest of the semester.

After the second time, he moved in with a friend and got a full time job. He worked for a few years then he and his girlfriend moved to another state, and he started attending community school while working part time. He transferred those credits to a state school and went full time to complete a degree. After getting a full time job, that job paid for an MBA so he did that at the same state school as well while working. He's successful and doing well.

I'm not sure everyone is ready for college all at the same age...I figure my BIL just needed some time to mature and get some life experience. [/quote]
