Hi
Looking for advice. My DD is in her second year. She’s doing really well academically but is unhappy with the course content - she feels it does not match up with the course criteria. She’s also unhappy that this semester the work will be all graded via group presentations - she likes team work but finds she ends up doing most of it.
The main problem is she feels incredibly lonely. She moved in with friends for this year, but they are now all in relationships and she’s been dropped. I’ve said to her try and find some societies however she feels they are very clicky.
She is due to go back tomorrow but really doesn’t want to. It’s around a 5 hour car journey from us so not easy to get to and home from for a quick visit - which is also another issue as her uni friends are local to the uni and often pop home, increasing her feeling of isolation.
She’s tried talking to her assigned lecturer but feels brushed off.
Any advice?
