<p>Can’t speak for your daughter, but I know that my brother HATED his college for almost his entire freshman year. He went to Rice, and he didn’t like the campus (too small, he said), didn’t like the city (not enough things to do near the campus, he said), didn’t like the people (I don’t get along with anyone, he said), etc. </p>
<p>My parents told him to stick with it. They were actually quite worried because he had originally liked UT Austin better, but my parents had encouraged him to go to Rice because it had a better architecture program. He went there, he hated it there, and they thought it was their fault.</p>
<p>Flash forward to 6 years later, and my brother has graduated from Rice with two bachelor’s degrees. He ended up loving it there. He made lots of friends, he found activities he was interested in, and whereas before going to college he was dead-set on a larger school, he is now encouraging me to consider smaller schools like Rice. He’s convinced that they’re much more personal and have a homier feel. He thinks I’d like it in a big city like Houston, where there’s tons to do if you know where to look. If he had to do it over, he would have made the same choice he did the first time.</p>
<p>My point is, kids my age are still pretty pliable. We can adjust to almost anything, and end up loving it (like my brother did). Give it another semester or two, and see what your daughter says then.</p>
