Our daughter is working abroad this year. She's holding a place at university but is having doubts about the course. Have you any suggestions?
Sometimes people do re-examine their priorities during a gap year. Are her doubts about the course itself or the university? Whatever they are, she should talk them over with the university. They have made a commitment to each other. The university will have vast experience of students considering a change of direction. Remember, too, that she is thousands of miles from home; things may look very different once she is back.
