My D left her original MT program after 1 semester. She was very unhappy with the program itself- it was not a case of homesickness or being a poor social fit. I would normally say kids should give any program a longer try but at the high cost of the program (and of most MT programs) she opted to leave. She decided to go b to our local cc for 3 semesters and finished her GE classes. Then she reapplied to MT programs and graduated in 3 years from a BFA MT program. She loved everything about the 2nd school and it confirmed her feeling that the 1st school was not a good fit. Going to the cc in between let her make connections with the teachers to use for references, and gave her a chance to figure out a plan and reapply. The 2nd MT program let her use some of her credits and go in as a sophomore, so she graduated in 5 years instead of 4, but with only 3-1/2 years in an MT program.
