[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I totally understand where you’re coming from. I’m currently a student at a SLAC in the Midwest, but I transferred to my current school from Columbia. The pressure cooker environment of Columbia and the NYC location make for a pretty miserable student body — there’s a reason why the school’s alumni have such low alumni giving rates. I am much happier at a less prestigious college, and I think it’s pretty sad that people on this forum are siding with your DH and insist that your DD stay. I’ll DM you soo. [/quote] I'm not insisting that DD stay, but I think DD needs to come up with a better list of schools before transferring. Don't make a second mistake. [/quote] (Different Poster) Seems reasonable to expect a certain level of school for a student as intelligent & accomplished as your daughter. I have suggested Vanderbilt & Northwestern as transfer friendly schools. Boston University is another. Transfer students are eligible for merit scholarships at some schools ( U Miami, for example, offers partial merit scholarships). Eligible for first year merit scholarships at some schools if transferring in with up to 30 semester hours of college course credit. (However, the most generous transfer scholarships are for community college students.) Because your daughter is a math major, she may be a strong candidate for transfer admission to Williams College--a school which is very strong in math. Does your daughter have any career plans or goals ? Teaching ? As one who should have, but did not, transfer, I encourage you to take your daughter's plea to transfer seriously. College experience can affect one for life. Columbia, as well as NYC, is not for everyone. [/quote]
