[quote=Anonymous]First year sucks at a lot of colleges when kids have to move away from home and their entire social support network is uprooted. That said, sometimes our kids choose a school that is very prestigious or "good on paper" but is the wrong fit socially. Rankings don't tell you that your kid will be happy or fit. In some cases, transfer is the best thing to do. Does she have any close friends or contacts at other schools that she got into or was interested in last year that can give her the inside scoop of what to expect their socially? Can she visit them for a couple of days? I would suggest she start a transfer application asap, her high grades will be paramount to keep up. She can always apply to transfer and stay where she is but at least that gives her hope and an option.[/quote]
