<p>I too, believe that the long wait may be on his side. Right now he is still in the "honeymoon" stage, just a few weeks into his exciting new life at Tulane. You have time to lay out all the facts and options and let him come to the best decision for him. </p>
<p>My concern with waiting one more year to transfer (besides going thru this process yet one more time :eek: ) would be that 1 semester at Bates, 3 semesters at Tulane and then 4 semesters at another school would make for a real feeling of disconnect and no real sense of belonging. If he is ultimately going to transfer, I think now is the time. Trying to fit a square peg (eng major-no pun intended) into a round hole (Tulane), no matter how much you love the round hole, just isn't a good fit, and don't we always tell these kids it's about the fit. Good luck, your family deserves a happy ending.</p>
