[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone's kid made this transition or are they considering it?
My child is currently at a public university (one in the top4) and doesn't like the large size. Hates never being able to find friends at the dining hall(s) or otherwise on campus, hates having lectures of hundreds of people (spring classes are again going to be really large), and not knowing professors etc. 
Never really considered a liberal arts college in high school but now really wants to explore transferring.

Sounds like your kid is headed to a difficult spring. Would you consider a gap semester? Might also be worth looking at Middlebury and giving them a call. They have a January term and maybe they would admit for this February for the Spring? A bunch of kids start in Feb. Would be nice to start with a cohort coming in together.[/quote]

OP. Ironically DC was admitted to Middlebury for fall admission this year but turned them down. That was the one small school they applied to but never really considered it (applied because we had an extended family member who attended there). Probably considering it for next year. Do you think it's worth a call? This is all a mess.  :cry:

Middlebury is fantastic and my kid is excited to go there next year. But LACs all have different personalities and your kid needs to spend some time doing their research and figuring out what he really wants before just jumping somewhere. He already landed in one place he doesn't fit. Don't move too fast and make that mistake again. [/quote]
