[quote=Anonymous]FWIW (and maybe it’s different because it was grad school), but I once knew within the first month that I’d made the wrong choice of university.  Made the most of my time there, but was planning my escape very early on.  And I was absolutely right — immediately much happier at next school.

I could see a college kid who grew up in a city quickly realizing that s/he can’t stand living in the middle of nowhere or that the program that drew her/him to a particular school was not going to work out.

I agree that it’s important to talk through/disentangle what’s wrong when a college freshman wants to transfer, but I wouldn’t assume that the problem is with the kid.

It’s also worth checking out how/whether options change depending on when kid withdraws.  Some Us only accept transfers who are juniors.  Some let you apply as a freshman even if you did a semester elsewhere.  Others put you in the transfer pile if you have any college level credits.  Look at DC’s preferred alternatives and see what their policies are.[/quote]
