[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is going to transfer from CMU, CS major, to another school after her freshman year there.  CS is a very tough program and DD feels miserable there.  CS @CMU is for someone who is smart, works hard,  and does nothing but studying all day long.  DD feels like it is not the place for her.[/quote]

May I ask where she is considering for a transfer? Op here. Thank you for all the responses. My student is not one who will be happy or even able to study all day over a sustained period. That's why the question, CMU is obviously the bigger brand name, Pittsburgh more convenient, but ultimately fit is what sustains[/quote]

DD will transfer from CMU to a school in the West Coast, a place where the weather is beautiful almost all the time.  The school was her 2nd choice but she chose CMU because of CMU's prestige, brand name, and bragging rights with her HS friends, which looking back, is a huge mistake.  You want to develop yourself as a well rounded individual during your college years, not chaining yourself to the chair and studying all the time.  She knows that she will be much happier at the new school.[/quote]
