<p>Your daughter should follow the steps that her college asked her to in order to qualify for reinstatement. Many colleges and universities that she would apply to as a transfer will ask for evidence that she is “in good standing” at her first college. She might not be able to get that kind of letter right now. </p>
<p>I expect that she is angry, and unhappy right now. It may be best if she does take the year off. She can investigate all of her options, make a little money, and gather her emotional forces together before she goes back to college (either at the original college or somewhere else).</p>
<p>Wishing both of you all the best.</p>
