<p>Hey,</p>
<p>So my friend at Cornell kind of did poorly during his first semester and is receiving a "leave of absence" for the next semester. We were wondering what's going to happen to him?</p>
<p>Also, does anyone know how he can...well not get a leave of absence or how to return from it? His situation is that issues such as his mom's near death experience and other factors had a negative impact on his first semester grades.</p>
<p>Additionally, if he gets a leave of absence this will force his family to prematurely pay their loans which they cannot afford to do. Is there anything he can do???</p>
<p>Your help would be appreciated!</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
