[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because she has a boyfriend, she's probably not going "all in" on the social scene. Ask her if he wants her to call every night instead of going out.

I was not happy my freshman year of college, but transferring wasn't an option. I ended up meeting my now DH Junior year and am grateful I stayed for many many reasons. 4 weeks is way way too early to make this decision. [/quote]

She needs to give 100% to trying the college she chose. This needs to be sustained effort over months, not two weeks. Making friends after you transfer isn’t that easy, either. I bet she’s dividing her time between college social life and communicating with/pining over her boyfriend. It is common to go to college and have a high school sweetheart. What is less common is for the significant other (especially the boyfriend) to still be in high school. Usually one party will move on by the end of first semester. Guys move on more quickly (unless he gets frequent conjugal visits).

She needs to give this college her all before jumping ship. This is a life skill. Otherwise, she might want to transfer again, after college # 2 isn’t spectacular after a few weeks.[/quote]
