<p>If that was my kid, I wouldn’t be in a hurry to enroll him in another school until I was satisfied he made restitution to me for wasting my money, and until I was confident it wouldn’t happen again.
Is this out of character for him?
What happened to the other people involved?</p>
<p>Well…never means NEVER. If your son cannot go into the gym ever again, and he cannot reside on campus ever again…I would suggest transferring. And I agree…I would do nothing until I was absolutely sure this type of issue had been addressed with the son.</p>
<p>Agree with thumper, lookingforward andEK. As mores pieces of this story emerge, it seems that he was involved in a fight (regardless of who started it he was a participant) and then willingly, knowingly violated the rules again by ignoring the instruction not to go to the gym. HE made the mistakes. HE needs to deal with the consequences. HE made bad choices. Don’t blame the school. They are not “taking your money and then suspending as a moneymaker”. Thats silly. Please don’t blame the school. Please help your son learn to follow rules and accept consequences. Trying to enroll him elsewhere (which other than perhaps a CC is unlikely under the circumstances) doe not teach him this lesson. It teaches him again that there are ways around rules or consequences. He needs to own his behavior/choices sit on the bench for a bit. JMO.</p>

<li><p>Most colleges won’t accept him while the suspension period is in effect as it means he isn’t in good disciplinary standing with his previous college.</p></li>
<li><p>Even when that period has expired and he’s allowed back, that suspension will be on his permanent undergrad record unless there’s some special deal/exception worked out which’ll make many colleges wary of accepting him as a transfer student. Especially if it has had anything to do with violence or willfully disobeying laws which got him arrested. </p></li>
<li><p>Even assuming he transferred successfully, doing so won’t wipe that record of a suspension off his college record barring some worked out special deal/exception.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>They could have suspended him for the original fight. Instead they extended him the privilege of being able to continue in school with one condition, that he not step foot in the gym. He went to the gym, he’s done. This is not some plot to take your money.</p>
<p>If my kid violated the terms of return after suspension, MY KID would be working to repay any money I lost. This is not the school’s fault. It is the student’s fault. Perhaps,you should work out a repayment plan with your son.</p>
<p>Also…don’t throw good money after bad! Help him understand there are rules that need to be adhered to. It sounds like either he likes to take chances…or thinks the rules do not apply to him. By just sending him off to another college ASAP…you are making it seem like he was right and the college was wrong. That doesn’t sound like it was the case.</p>
<p>Why do I get the feeling that the boy who was suspended from the school is the OP’s boyfriend?</p>
