College troubles

Hi everyone,
It seems everyone here is having such great experiences with their college kids. I was wondering if there is anyone whose child is having trouble in college. My CS came home yesterday after finishing his first quarter of freshmen year. He thinks he may have failed 2 classes and I'm certain he failed one of them as he says he stayed up all night studying (supposedly) and then slept through the final exam. I am so disappointed and upset. I know its an adjustment going to college but he just didnt do the work or study. We dont really know what to do. He loves it at school and is begging us to give him one more chance. He knows this will be the last chance, but I'm really afraid he just isnt ready....He is way too social and definitley has always had trouble doing schoolwork if there was socializing going on. Just dont know what to do at this point..
