Stick it out or transfer in the fall?

I have no idea what school this is (you didn’t say and I wouldn’t invade your privacy by doing a Google search to try and figure it out). So I’m hardly bashing the school- I have no idea what it is I’d be bashing!

I’m glad you’re going to support your son as he figures out whether he wants to stay or go.

But from the few things you DID post- none of these things seem particularly unique. And if you DIDN’T find these things when you were looking at colleges last time, perhaps giving your son some time to figure it out is the right move.

There were lots of things I didn’t like about the places where my kids ended up-- lots. But they owned the decision, which sure helps on those days when a kid is having a bad week, it’s been raining or snowing “forever”, a bad breakup, a C in a midterm, or whatnot. And they ended up loving most of it (not all of it- that’s just not realistic).

good luck to your son!
