My bed sucks.
The food is terrible.
I hate sharing a bedroom/bathroom.
My professors are crazy.
I miss my girlfriend.
There's too many weirdos on campus.
I'm too busy.
That could be 80% of the freshman at 80% of the schools. It's a universal reaction to being away from home and being in a dorm at college.

I've only heard stuff described like this in Facebook groups. They are the worst. They also provides a ton of laughs.
I think as difficult as it is being a student athlete one of the benefits is you are pretty insulated from gen pop, or as my kids refer to them NARPs. So as long as you get along with your teammates, especially your class, you should be good.
My son just sent me a pic from the Yankee game. Went with kids from the team. As long as he makes it back to campus (~2 hours away), I think all is well.
