My college freshman is miserable. (sob) LONG

This statement is so telling. Do you think that maybe he feels forced to go to Duquesne? I don't mean that you or your DH forced him to go there. I mean more like his options were limited and he really had no other choice but to go there?

I think in a sense that he did feel pressured to go there only because they gave him the most $. DH and I NEVER made $ an issue and there were 2 other great schools he got into (Pitt and Syracuse) but chose Duquesne.:confused3 So who knows? I don't think even he knows how he feels.

No update for today--I need an emotional break from him.:)
 
Tell him to talk to me! I was kicked out of my parents house when I was 18 (and 1/2 way through my senior year in HS) for refusing to pay rent to them for the remainder of HS!

Anyway, I had a friend and we planned to live together off campus since she hated dorm life and I needed a place to live year round. We did that for 9 months before we decided not to be friends anymore.

She was my closest friend there and I felt very alone.

I was forced to work because of my circumstances (of course) but worked in a restaurant, a Hobby Lobby and a Grocery Store before working with adults with Developmental Disabilities. I worked full time most of the time (or had a bunch of roomates and cheap rent when I worked part time) and made lots of friends through work. I made some through class too.

If he worked 10 hours a week I don't think it would disrupt school and he may find some friends!

If he does not want to work then I had a boyfreind in HS who was in college and he joined clubs to make more friends.
