<p>“If she’s really involved but really unhappy, it’s hard for me to believe that the deepest problem is annoyingly bad organization. Her areas of concern are so many!”</p>
<p>What I find strange/troubling is that she hasn’t made good friends through the theater productions. In my experience, shows with lots of freshmen in the cast produced intense bonding, and often future blockmates. A disorganized/excessive rehearsal schedule shouldn’t impair that; sometimes surviving a tough production can even strengthen camaraderie within the cast.</p>
<p>IMHO, it’s silly not to leave if she believes she’d be happier at another college. With high grades, she would have plenty of options for an impressive diploma. But at a minimum, she should try transferring houses if it is not too late. Joining a long-term EC (as opposed to individual shows) would be smart, too. Maybe HRDC leadership, where she can also influence which productions get space? Or WHRB or Kuumba? If you don’t feel love and support at a Kuumba rehearsal, something is definitely wrong.</p>
