Four weeks into her course, DD is having a great social life at uni, is on sports teams and has joined a couple of other groups. Is having a great time - BUT - says she thinks she is on the wrong course, hates quite a lot of it (and likes some of it). - RG uni.
I have suggested to her that she speaks to her personal tutor within the dept, to see how the bits she hates fit into the the whole 3 (or 4) years to give her some perspective. But I also wondered if there was a course she could change onto and have suggested she looks into that too.
On the one hand, it is very early days. On the other hand, if she was to change (and was accepted), I suppose sooner rather than later would be preferable.
She has a history of this whenever there is change - when she started gcse's, A levels (changed A level at xmas in y12) and now this. However, she also ended up with 3 x A*'s so I suppose feels somewhat vindicated)
I think I was a bit short with her on the phone, because part of me thinks that while I am v pleased she's so happy with the rest of uni life, I'm also paying for accommodation - and it's not just for partying and cricket....
Would be v interested to hear from anyone else who has had the same situation, perhaps with older DC's
