Lots of kids break down in freshman year. I know two women whose parents had to come take them home because they were cracking. My father in law threatened to kick my brother in law out of the house and the family if he didnt graduate from a school he was miserable at. It got so bad thst I think he would’ve killed himself if he hadnt been converted by the campus jehovahs witnesses.
Parental pressure can certainly be a factor. My first roommate at the Air Force Academy was attending only because he never worked up the courage to tell his father that he really preferred a different school. He lasted one day... snuck out of the room around 1:00am and tried to commit suicide by jumping off a wall near the dorm.
