Just have to chime in here, bcs not all advisors are as proactive as your son’s was. Kiddo1 did not have a close relationship with her advisor at all, and when she had a medical emergency of sorts, the advisor was nowhere to be found, never contacted me, and had not seen any warning signs. And while Kiddo1 was required to keep her room clean, she found ways to keep appearances without actually keeping her room cleaned (let’s just say she had boxes of trash under her bed, and a really nasty mini fridge). But that was a really rough semester for her (I’d guess 90% was covid related), and now, over a year later, she’s thriving, keeps her room relatively clean, and loves her new advisor.
