Any failing freshman turn it around 2nd semester?

<p>One of my friend’s son went to Cornell. I am not sure what happened but academically it did not work out. He was a great kid, and obviously got into Cornell so his parents were not pressing to see his grades (unlike me, “Trust but Verify”). So he left Cornell and then went to a small, local college the next year…where he is thriving.
So it can happen.
But I agree with others…let your son tell you HIS plan…and if that includes returnng to that school or any school then make sure he has “skin in the game”…that is, he is financially responsible.</p>
