[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]- I know you don’t want to doxx your daughter, but could you find an equivalent school (maybe by using the Niche.com equivalent school list) so we can tell what kind of private college you’re talking about. If it’s a school like Hollins or Goucher, for example, and you can afford it, learn to love the one you’re with.

- If the school is truly the no-name Jesuit school down the street: I still think your daughter would be better learning to love it than trying to transfer. I think that most of the value people get from selective private schools comes from the freshman dorm. Moving to a a second private college after the first eight weeks might make sense if the original school is closing down, or if a student hates the first school or needs resources available only at the second school, but the second school will never really be a perfect networking home. I think a typical student will get a lot more networking value from sticking with a place like Hollins, Goucher or Creighton for four years than from moving to Tulane from Creighton for the sake of prestige. And, for any student at a school below about the top 30, getting good grades, having good activities and having good recommendations matters a lot more than the name of the college. Hardly anyone away from DCUM knows much about colleges other than HYPSM, the nearest big public universities and a few schools with good football teams. Knowing what Oberlin is, for example, is pretty weird. [/quote]
