[quote=Anonymous]She'll find her place.  Every school is not for everyone.  My niece just finished her freshman year at a tiny, well-regarded SLAC in the Northeast and absolutely hated it.  She thought she wanted a small school but it ended up being too small, few classes, few opportunities for clubs, internships, etc.  No diversity (she's from Chicago actually and the first thing you notice at this SLAC is how WHITE it is).  She actually decided pretty late in the year that she wanted to transfer and missed some transfer deadlines by applying in the spring.  She got into three or four schools and will be attending a Big-10 school this fall in an excellent STEM program.

If your niece doesn't want to wait an entire year, she can always apply to be a spring transfer.  Have her check deadlines but I think a lot of schools take transfers in the second semester.

Best of luck to her - I know it was a rough year for my niece and I hope she'll be happier at a larger school with so many more classes to choose from and many more opportunities, both academically and socially.  [/quote]
