Talking about the middle class is Marxist talk

[Domingo Halliburton]

Didn't say his major.
Obviously high school came easy for breh too, if he had 4.0...
I'm sure most people have to adjust to the first year of college
The problem is what if this kid decided to drop out, and doubted his ability to succeed from the first year alone, or simply didn't meet the 2.0 mark...

And many cases like this happen. And how can they be avoided...

how many cases like it happen though? obviously it can't be calculated. I keep applying my own experience to his. link the article i'll check it out again. I feel like there is a strong correlation between doing well in high school and doing well in college. anyways i'm going to bed. i'd like to continue the conversation though. link the article, i'll look at it tomorrow.

That kid's case is very common among smart kids who are superstar students in shytty high schools in the hood. Most of the honors kids from my high school dropped out by their second year of college, and it's not like they went to elite and difficult universities. The level of unpreparedness is crazy.

Transitioning to the impersonality and size of that school would have been tough.

Exactly, that's why Michigan offers a summer bridge program for those kids before college starts and gives them the best advisors and access to smaller classes their first year.
