<p>My D is at UMich and appears to be adjusting well. I think the early weeks were difficult as she underestimated the difficulty of being so far from home (we are in Los Angeles) and was surprised by the “culture shock” on a number of different levels. That said, she likes her roommate and dorm, appears to have a number of new friends, got into one of the sororities she wanted and finds the classes to be more straightforward than at her HS. (In other words, if she studies, she gets an A and if she does not study but attends class and does the reading, she gets a B.) To be honest, though, if my stepson (age 31) and his mother (my H’s ex-wife) were not in Ann Arbor, I am not sure how my D would have handled the adjustment. From the calls I receive, it seems to be getting better with each passing week, but I can’t wait to see for myself over Parents’ Weekdend.</p>
