My daughter is not enjoying herself at college the first year.?
She is complaining of not like where she is at. She happens to be in Canada, and I know the weather there gets cold but that's not the concern with her. She doesn't like her roommate (very sloppy) and she is I think homesick to say the least. Now she s saying she wants to come to a school in the US, where colleges are much more expensive than they are there. She is very responsible and does all her work, it's that she doesn't like being there, although the city she is at is beautiful. What can i advise her? I was thinking maybe a work-study program here would be good for her and better for me as well in terms of affordability.
whoops--meant "not liking" in first sentence.
?, you have good points there about being independent, but she is somewhat independent at home. (she doesnt drive yet but she has her permit and is taking the written test this spring/summer). She takes care of her own stuff on her own--even cooking for herself, being a vegetarian.
Mary, she didnt want to stay in her own state, wanted to go out of it. We saw the schools that would suit her (she is an art history/photography) major around the north (New England) and they were super expensive to say the least, so when she chose this one I wsa all for it of course. However she now says she feels pressured to going there because it was less money (about 1/3 the price of schools here).
PS! Drip, this is more than just sloppiness. The girl did her first laundry in early November. She places the garbage can on the refrigerator they share (it's hers). And this is gross; she leaves unwrapped used pads in the garbage.
