[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can she withdraw now?  Would you get tuition back?  Or a portion of it?  Then see if she can transfer to UMD in the Spring. [/quote]

I disagree with the idea of bailing after 4 weeks. It's not enough time to try it out, and this is probably a lot about the boyfriend. Even if this is not right school for her ultimately, it's still a worthwhile experience to stick it out while she puts in applications to transfer as a sophomore.

I transferred after my first year from a school I hated. I was miserable the first few months. But as I stuck it out I made a few friends, focused on classes, and found out that, even though picking the wrong college sucks, I was ok. I also learned that it is harder to make friends as a transfer student. I mostly bonded with other new students who were a year behind me, and consequently found milestones, like graduation, a little bit lonely. I don't think staying at my first school would have been a better choice, but it's worthwhile for her to see if this school grows on her.[/quote]
