[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hadn't realized how common it was for students to transfer. So many neighbors asked me if DD was returning the following year (out-of-state university) Why wouldn't she? What were they thinking? Maybe they didn't know she was an excellent student? Did they really think she'd fail out? [/quote]

NP. Interesting that you assume that your neighbors are assuming only failing academically would be a reason to transfer or come home. Friend's DC came home after freshman year because horrible dorms and lack of maintenance at her huge, impersonal state university meant she was sick due to mold much of freshman year and was told there was no hope of moving to another dorm during the year. She was so fed up she said she wouldn't return and she started at a local college for now. And no, she hadn't been failing or homesick--just sick of being physically ill and being told it was acceptable that her dorm regularly had leaks and wet walls. [/quote]

Is this UMCP? [/quote]

I’m thinking it’s Indiana.  [/quote]

College Park dorms are absolutely disgusting. The dorms leaks and mold. So is the entire layout of the campus. No bike walkways. Tons of dirt from kids passing through grass areas from thin sidewalks. Not to mention tons of traffic that drives all  thru the campus. I wish they would increase OOS tuition since it is getting more competitive and do some work.  Most other state flagships have bike baths, scooter rentals and paths, large common areas and a huge area surround with no driving. I just don’t get what the issue at UMD is. [/quote]
