[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great that your child gave so much thought to it but wtf with waiting until now to look into it?  Don't they recall the college application process from less than a year ago?

I agree transferring when we were in school was uncommon but these days I see friends kids do this a more more so I dont think it is a big deal - kudos for them wanting to try to find a better fit. But unfortunate that they waited so long to look into it. They have have to do what another friends kid who waited too long - ended up not going back in Sept and transferring in spring session.[/quote]

??? You generally have to wait until you have a specified amount of credits to transfer unless you have a lot of AP credits. Kids don't transfer until the end of sophomore year in my experience. [/quote]

Maybe, but I transferred after freshman year. I knew after a few weeks that I'd chosen the wrong school.

OP: If it's too late to transfer, perhaps there are visiting student possibilities? Does your kids college have any exchange type programs he can apply to? [/quote]
