I have not read every response thoroughly so please pardon if this is a restatement.

I throw out that this may not be a racial discrimination but rather a drinking/non-drinking discrimination. One of mine had some issues first semester at a similar school because they did not drink and the folks in the dorm were all heavy drinkers. Mine felt isolated and lonely until finding like minded non-drinkers.

Also several years ago there was a thread about a young lady at Yale I believe who really struggled academically. She did well in high school but when she hit college and was surrounded by equally and even brighter kids she struggled and needed help with time management/study skills. If your daughter is studying ALL the time with no time for EC then maybe a visit to the college tutoring center is in order.
