I'm wondering which one your daughter is in, I think you recall the one my daughter attended
headquartered on Wabash near the Art Institute, make sure your daughter signs off on a
medical release, so that if there is a crisis in the future, the student health center
can discuss her with you. Smartest thing I ever did, when we enrolled.

I later found that drugs and alcohol were RAMPANT in the dorms-
State Street in particular.

The school seemed to look the other way, for the most part until a student
got into serious trouble and then they recommended a leave.

Just be sure that your daughter has signed off on letting any doctor she
sees discuss what is going on.

I'm SO glad I did that with my daughter- and to this day, she
is fine with my being involved in her treatment.

I don't really want my daughter going back to Chicago, scholarship or not.
Her life in the dorm is what escalated her illness, of that I have no doubt,
and no one seemed to be paying attention, with the exception of a few teachers,
until it had reached a crisis.

Love to You Mo,
BHN
