If she just started college, she hasn’t been there long enough to know “the school she picked isn’t a match.” Also, it’s impossible to recommend another place without knowing exactly what she doesn’t like about this one. I’m assuming all the things you listed as important were also part of what she considered when she made the choice to attend her current college.

You say she is on an athletic scholarship, but you don’t say which sport and whether she wants another one somewhere else, or how much you can afford if she doesn’t have a scholarship. The money factor will make a huge difference in what colleges people recommend. Also, to know what the most affordable places are for her, we would need to know which state she is a resident of, and you didn’t say that either.

I suggest you both calm down and try to identify and solve the problems at her current place before looking for new, different problems somewhere else. I assure you that transferring does not always make a student happy – it can, but there are plenty of students on here who are still dismal after a transfer, and they find new things to dislike. An attitude problem or depression or unrealistic expectations can follow a person around anywhere.
