| Transferring between Boarding Schools
Does anyone have any experience with transferring between schools? My daughter is unhappy with the social component of her life at boarding school, feels that people are not her type, etc. On the other hand, she loves all her classes and her marks have been very high so far.
She thinks people would think she was a loser if she transferred, and quite possibly that there are snobby/mean crowds everywhere. Also, I was wondering if the schools that she was accepted in last year but did not attend, would be interested in reading her app again. Would she be more/less likely to be accepted, would her teachers give her good recommendations to go elsewhere, would the financial aid offer be similar to what it was when she was a freshman?
What advice would you give: stick it out ("it's sure to get better") or try somewhere else ("why have three more lonely years?)
Thanks for your advice. All the posts on this forum seem so positive about Boarding School, I wonder what other people think about the frequency of less than "amazing!" experiences.
