[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I would tell DC fine, if you hate it you can transfer (since if they hate they will want to anyway) but I would also say just give it a try at whatever school you pick and see what you think.

Schools are not always what they seem in the rankings or on one 2 hour tour.

In the end, the reason most or many kids really transfer is if they don't find their friend or social outlet --- I don't know anyone that actually transferred because their school wasn't as highly ranked as the school they wanted to attend. I'm sure it happens, but in real life it's mostly about "fit".

So let your kid try and see ---also, if your kid thinks the school is not as academic or as challenging as a higher ranked school, see if they can get into an honors program or take more challenging classes or do a double major - you can make most colleges what you of it.
