I left after the first two weeks of my first semester here… I know how it feels to hate Tech so much that you just want out. After doing pretty much nothing for the rest of that semester, followed by a semester of core classes at a community college, I realized that Tech wasn’t quite as bad as I had thought. This summer, when I came back, I once again felt overwhelmed at times (as evidenced by a thread that I posted here about two months ago…). I stuck it out this time, though, and I’m glad that I did.

Try to talk her into staying at least through the fall semester. The people who are posting here know what they are talking about. It’s hard to judge what school will be like from just a week or two (especially during the summer). If she does decide to leave, it’s not the end of the world. She can regroup and go somewhere else. A lost semester isn’t really that big of a deal. Even though my first semester of college ended up being a complete loss, I’m only one credit hour behind right now because I worked my butt off this summer. Your daughter is obviously very smart and CAN succeed at Tech if she gives it a chance.
