[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is miserable at an Ivy.

How are chances to transfer to a school like Vanderbilt or Duke or Northwestern?[/quote]

100% guarantee they will be just as miserable at Northwestern and Duke. We know multiple at those schools
And 3 different ivies(Harvard, Penn, Princeton). They are all harsh for a certain subset of students, yet amazing for others. If yours is not happy at an ivy it is likely they need to change to a school much less competitive such as BC or UVa  or UNC. Or an LAC ranked 5-20: still great but not WASP INTENSIVE. [/quote]

Northwestern seems like a really fun, hopping place according to my kid.

What the school doesn't have is a town full of dive bars that take fake IDs like many small university towns.  But campus life is really vibrant and fun.

Perhaps that depends on the personality of the students though.  If the kid is an introvert, or a kid looking to get drunk every night at a dive bar, then they might have issues finding their fun.[/quote]
