[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is committed to it and will stick with it, but she recently realized she made a mistake in picking the school and wishes she chose something else. She has been very sad about it which has been hard to watch. I think she just changed/evolved since early Fall when she applied. I'm not sure how to help he with this. I hate seeing her so upset about something that I thought she would be excited about. I suppose she could transfer at some point but just seems like a depressing way to start college by thinking about transferring already. I don't really have a question. But I do think that some kids change (mature) a lot between the beginning of senior year to the end, and that ED isn't always a good idea because of this. Just something to think about.[/quote]

I feel for your daughter.
Many kids change/mature  during senior year, so having to commit to one college so early can be tough. 
I imagine our kids matured more this year - the last 1-2 years seemed like a social stall for some of them, because of the pandemic, and being virtual for so long.

Also with the pandemic, many of our kids didn’t get to visit as many schools as they would have, making it hard to know what you want.
Hopefully she’ll be pleasantly surprised in the Fall but if not, she can transfer. 
Try to help her remember the good things about the ED school and why she was attracted to it originally.
