Oppinions about on Campus Counseling

I was just wondering if anyone’s child had used the on campus counseling services?

We are from the North East, so needless to say my son is quite a distance from home. He’s had some pretty significant (and unexpected) bouts with both homesickness and anxiety since starting school this past August.

The issue came to a head this past weekend and I decided to go down to Florida to try to help him through some of this. Inclusive of this, I’d like to get him some counseling. One would think that on campus counseling would have considerable experience helping students with homesickness and anxiety, but that doesn’t mean that performance matches perceived experience.

If anyone has any first hand experience with the services they were willing to share, I’d be very grateful. I’m wondering if I should seek services on campus or if I should seek off campus help for him.

Thanks in advance…
