My freshman daughter had a worse experience yesterday. She got an email from her adviser that her course had been changed due to a conflict and she is now in a totally different course (which she does not want). The topper is that today being Labor Day there is no adviser around to fix her schedule and classes start on Wednesday. So tomorrow morning before convocation she had to find an adviser and get it fixed. Mind you this schedule was in place since July 3rd and of course she had just purchased all her books and done a walk through of where all her classes are located. Needless to say she is now extremely stressed. Not a good way to help with the freshman college transition.

I am not butting in - my daughter is an adult now - but I feel the adviser totally mishandled this schedule change and would love to tell her that (she should have contacted the student first, discussed options, and together changed her schedule).
