My S has been deliberating whether to transfer for quite some time now. He got accepted to the college he thinks he would like to go to but is still unsure about it. He goes back and forth...one day wants to transfer out and the next not 100% sure.
So here it is........ he is a sophomore and the semester is almost over. He is now thinking of postponing the transfer decision for another semester and transferring in the spring of his junior year. Does this make any sense?
He keeps hoping his current school will get better. There are things he likes about it and things he doesn't. There are things he likes about the new school and things he doesn't. He would be going from a private school to a state school, so finances are a factor. He would be going from the south to the north, so that is another factor.
I have been trying to stay out of the decision making process and let him make his own decision, but I need to know if waiting another semester is something I should allow. My concern is that coming in at that late date will make it even harder for him as a transfer academically and socially.
Any thoughts out there?
