[quote=Anonymous]I hear her concerns. My kid is a soph math major at an Ivy. First year was really hard finding people. Her math classes have been mostly good (some great profs, some just good) but hard. Now, she is really hitting her stride. Her school is one of the "friendlier" Ivies. She had initially considered Harvard and Columbia, but decided against them because wanted something with more collaborative atmosphere. One of her friends just transferred from another Ivy and seems very happy. All this to say that a "lower tier" school may or may not have a better environment, but it's likely not related to the school tier. Maybe a choosing classes for great profs would help (along with meeting more people). Or, shifting to something a little less intense like applied math. If she really wants to transfer, I'd research schools with great math faculty and more relaxed atmosphere. [/quote]
