[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids seem to have this unspoken pressure to come home with glowing reports about how they’re loving their college, loving their classes, have an instant tight group of friends, etc., etc. Adjusting to college is a process and it takes time. Different things come together at different times, depending on the kid and circumstances. Not only that, but things at college can change from semester to semester. [/quote]

+1 A mom of a college freshman told me very candidly that she’s concerned about how many kids at her DD’s school are planning on (or at least talking about) transferring. She said so many of them travel on weekends to visit their high school friends rather than trying to meet new people at their own school. And when you add in social media, the FOMO is strong and they all think the grass in greener somewhere else.[/quote]

Transferring was viewed negatively decades ago. Not anymore.

In fact some T10 have announced transfer classes of 150  (from 10) for the next few years to increase class sizes and make more money.

If a kid knows it’s a bad fit, don’t stick it out. It’s 4 short years.[/quote]
