[quote=Anonymous]I don’t know what Ivy she is at, but I went to Yale and there were certainly kid’s shoes were really focused on academics and very competitive m, especially in STEM and the pre-med tracks.  But, there were also plenty of kids who weren’t.  Did she try a bunch of different clubs?  Most Ivys have a big service culture and there are lots of programs to volunteer at local schools and tutoring programs.  She could try intermural sports, a new workout routine, or getting an on campus job.  My high strung pre-med roommate worked in the dining hall to get a break.  For most on campus jobs you don’t need to be on FA.  I definitely didn’t find all the available social groups my first semester.

Before she transfers, I would help her brainstorm ways to explore the different social groups and activities available on her current campus.  If she is depressed and can’t put herself out there and be open to new experiences, get her some mental health help.  She won’t magically be able to do this at a new campus if she isn’t mentally well.  [/quote]
