[QUOTE="LucyB, post: 314704, member: 3472"] I have no great advice, I just wanted to let you know you're not alone. My D made it one year in college before dropping out. Her explanation was the same as your D - she hated it there, there was nothing to do. Reality was she was more interested in coming home to visit the boyfriend. I didn't fight her decision because her grades were not very good, and I saw no reason to spend any more money on college until she was ready to put more effort into it. She is now living in her boyfriend's mother's house and working retail part-time. She has had no trouble getting jobs, but the pay isn't great and they don't give her enough hours to qualify for benefits. She is talking about going back to cc in January, but I'm not holding my breath. She has also started looking for an apartment with boyfriend. I can only hope she wakes up some day and realizes what she's missing. [/QUOTE]
