<p>I want to say that as a parent, i have had zero contact with the college, so my comment was based entirely on the interaction of student to school, and had nothing to do with pressure from me in any way, shape or form.</p>
<p>I believe that regarding leaves for personal reasons, particularly regarding mental health issues, the college’s preferred practice is for students to take two semesters off rather than just one, so yes, perhaps the students do have to work harder to be readmitted after just one semester away.</p>
