| I'm being told that I would have to get in by this fall or else all of my credits evaporate. I have to ask permission to be readmitted. I don't know what I'll do if they don't readmit me. My career prospects are dim if not completely without hope. |

| I completed my first year about a month ago, and it was pretty... meh. Don't get me wrong, it's not about the classes. In fact, I had quite a few teachers I really liked and did great in all my classes. (I'm a 4.00 average student.) It's just... I don't like the social scene. All of my friends and ... |

If a little more support is needed it would be nice to live in a building with a social worker that could be visited with occasionally if there was a crisi... |
