How old is he?

How were his grades in HS?

What school is he going to now (only if you feel comfortable answering that).

I have 3 kids in college and one will start college soon.

First year is tough, especially for a kid who did real well in HS and then all of the suddden he is competing with other kids who are as talented and accomplished as he is.

It is always a shock.

I don't see any point in:

1. panicking at this juncture; or

2. forcing him to decide on a major.

I always knew that I wanted to be a lawyer, but I had no idea what major to pursue.

I have given all my kids free reign (with guidance from me of course) in picking a major.

Give your kid some room, cut him some slack. college is a lot harder now than it was in my time.

He will thank you later on and you will be happy.

Rash decisions are often regretted down the line.

Let me know if you wish to discuss this further.
