Um, welcome to the real world, budzo. This isn't a utopia with unicorns and rainbows where everyone gets to sit on their @$$ all day sipping cocktails on the beach with their feet up. Everyone that goes to college experiences the same thing, it just comes down to a matter of individual ability. If he is unable to endure the workload, then it likely means that he isn't academically capable enough to succeed in the program and will eventually be weeded out, this is nothing new.
