[quote=Anonymous]OP - I'm sorry she is unhappy and I hope her reflections will help her to find a better fit. Hopefully she knows that every school has pluses and minuses. I'd encourage her to also  make a list of good things at Chicago that she would not want to (or might) lose in a transfer to a new school.

To those who are pushing back on her complaints, I agree it sounds excessive and harsh. But I also think it's unfair to judge her when she was venting to a trusted family member in what is likely to be the height of her unhappiness - at the end of a year with wounds still fresh. I doubt she'd want this list of grievances to be publicly attributed to her on the internet.

I'd also like to think she might have better filters in a personal audience of people (wider circle than closest friends and family).

A lot of times when you are in the thick of something and realize you made a choice that makes you unhappy, it's easy for other things pile on. So many of these things might be "I've just had it" comments (again - not meant for public).
