Do your parents work? My first thought as a parent would be can I get a job in a different country. If they are independently wealthy or own their own business and can easily move that’s different. I would try to schedule a time to sit down and be truly honest with them about how you feel at your current school. How unhappy you are and give specific examples of the pros/cons of each school and how they compare. Try to avoid the “dropping of facts” which may feel like a drive by attack to your parents. They probably feel they are struggling to pay for the best school for you and you don’t want to appear ungrateful.
Good luck!
