I don’t think the OP told here D which school to go to. From what I gather in her post, the decision was made by the D w/ parental input to attend the superior program but now a week later the D is having second thoughts and blaming her mom for forcing her to go to the school in a city away from her bf.

I am of the opinion that maintaining a hs romance is not a valid reason to choose a college. The OP is being fair in offering to allow her D to transfer. I suppose it’s the latent feminist in me that rebels at the thought of a girl turning down a great opportunity because of her boyfriend. According to the mother’s description of her D and of School “B” there really doesn’t seem to be any other reason not to go to the superior school.
