Yeah I can see your point about her grades starting to slip if she stays there. It just seems an amazing opportunity to give up on, employers much be really impressed by cambridge grads, I don't want her to regret it :/ and it's a bit late to apply to another university now, would she have to take a year out? What do you think i should say to her when i visit her on Thursday?
Barrister 2000 - she does have friends but she doesn't feel close to them like they are real friends. I don't really understand what she meant to be honest, she says she's friendly with them, they come in her room for study breaks, cups of tea and watch films together and go to formals together but she only hangs around with them so she's not lonely. She say's she's only friends with them cos they're the only people there and she finds them boring and wishes she'd gone somewhere where she had more in common with the people around her. She likes some aspects of the college system, always friendly people around etc but says it can also be quite isolating.
