[quote=Anonymous]Just make sure that he is going to be reasonably happy there or it could be a disaster. My niece did this kind of trade (got into Uof C and other comparable schools but went to University of South Carolina for a free ride). She is two years in and hates it! She is sticking it out for now but will likely transfer to a school that is less good than where she got in earlier and have to pay for a couple of years of college. But being miserable for all four years of college is a tough thing to impose on a kid. So I would proceed cautiously (and I am from Alabama!). I would look hard at other less selective schools that are more of the same "type" of the schools that my kid loved. So if considering big state schools like Michigan, Wisconsin, etc. an Alabama switch might work well. On the other hand, if my kid loved Williams, I would look to switch to a lower ranked LAC that was offering merit aid. [/quote]
