[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of these replies are pretty harsh.

It sounds like OP’d kid was uprooted from a friend group to Missouri and hasn’t found her people there.  If you were a teenager, you might translate this into a general dislike for Missouri and the Midwest.

The obvious discussion with the kid is to point out that there will be lots of new kids in college wherever she goes. But maybe OP is feeling guilty for the move so doesn’t want to tell her kid she’s never getting the friend group she left behind on the East Coast back.

That’s a discussion worth having, both in general and especially if finances are an issue.  People have to move for lots of reasons and OP’s kid isn’t owed an East Coast or West Coast education they can’t afford.  Sure, they can explore those options, but DD has to understand they are only options if they are affordable. [/quote]

Op said the kid is a junior and they moved several years ago. I'm going to assume several means two. That's enough time for the kid to adjust. It's not harsh to point out the kid's attitude and dismissal of a whole state is a problem.

Good luck op.[/quote]
