DS is struggling at his university. Not academically, and he claims not socially, he just says he doesn't want to be there. He is a 4-yr AROTC scholarship holder. I've told him he has to finish his freshman year and then we will discuss it again. I think he's just homesick, but he claims he just doesn't think he's cut out for college life and he wants to "get to real life and do something meaningful". Ah, 18-year-old grow up quick syndrome!
So my question is what are his options if he decides to leave school after this first year (which I am discouraging!)? Can he transfer his scholarship to the local university that also has ARTOC? If he chooses to leave school all together, his freshman year is not obligatory to pay back, correct? Any advice to help me help him navigate this (besides telling him to talk someone at school...I've told him this, over and over and over....)
