<p>A few months back I posted about the unhappiness my D was experiencing and how she was considering transferring to a school much closer to home. Many of you responded and provided wonderful advise. </p>
<p>Well, she's decided to go back! After much thought and consideration, she is giving it another go. Her living arrangement will be completely different and she really does like the school. Her outlook is bright and she's back to her old self again. Phew!</p>
<p>Thanks!!</p>
<p>It is amazing how things always seem to work out. You must be very proud of your D for know that she needed to get away for a while, working through it and then getting right back out there!</p>
<p>Thanks for the update! I hope that things work out for her better next year!</p>
<p>Yes. We’re extremely proud of her. She remains on track to accomplish her goals. Talk has even begun about studying abroad next summer!!</p>
<p>BTW, turns out that her crummy roommate had A LOT to do with her unhappiness. Lesson learned: switch rooms ASAP!!</p>
<p>That was exactly what happened with my son. He did the transfer apps, but ultimately decided to stay at his school and make some things better for himself. It worked!</p>
<p>MomofWildChild: great to hear!!!</p>
<p>My D was the exact opposite. She had a fantastic first semestre then they moves another young lady into her room that was not getting along on the floor she was in. My D did everything she could to become friends and include in things but to no avail. My D’s first roomate had to leave because of health and I my D was alone for about 6 weeks. This new young lady would never leave the room other than for class. Even my D’s other friends would not come down to the room they would text her and say meat us outside or we are going to… and then my D would just leave and meat them somewhere. My D said she never had any privacy and this person was also stealing my D’s snacks and drinks without telling her. My D even asked me to change her cell phone plan so that she could have unlimited long distance to Canada so that she could either go outside or in the commons room to call people back home. It was the most miserable 4 months for my D. She hung on and focused on her school and the end of the year. She managed to still pull of a 3.87 GPA even with all of the stress and knows who her room mate will be next year and is extremely excited. I am glad your D worked it out and I think you can agree that these girls have sure shown a lot of maturity to handle the situation, look beyond the problems and stay focused on what was really important.</p>
<p>percussiondad, so glad to hear that your daughter was able to work through that rough situation and returning next year! Kudos to her!!</p>
<p>Glad to hear that everything worked out. As much as we want to fix things for our kids, sometimes it’s best to just listen, step back, and let them make up their own minds.</p>
