[quote=Anonymous]In the end it has to be her choice.  However as her parent you do have insights about her and if she is talking to you about this, my guess is that she needs you to be a sounding board however long that may take.
Waffling is okay because it may be her way of weighing the pro's and cons and it is a huge decision to her.  What I would do is reassure her that she did make friends at school 1 so there is no reason to assume otherwise for school 2.  Her life will be a series of either learning to adapt to what she has or getting comfortable with starting over.  She may be continuing a process of mourning her first choice school so I wouldn't make any assumptions about which one she would be happier at. It is also very hard on athletes when sports at their colleges don't work out the way they dreamed.  That may be coloring her entire experience at school 1 as my guess is that she has had limited time to assess what is out there on campus.  School 2 could be her way of dropping a sport she has always done and the only life she knows without having to make that conscious decision.  There's a lot of may be...I wouldn't push her.  Let her mull this over a gazillion times.  What happens when the deadline is upon her will be enough push.    [/quote]
