College freshman burnt out - is this normal?

<p>I have two science degrees and am exhausted just reading my son’s freshman homework for math and science. So, I know I would agree with a student saying he was burnt out. My son is off to Germany in May for an intensive language program through his college. I told him it would be a good change and may help him mentally for the fall. They may be tired of homework or maybe it’s really just the stress environment. Doing something totally different this summer should help.</p>
