<p>My son has made the decision to transfer to Stetson University in Florida. He loves NOLA but Tulane just wasn't a good fit for him. I'm proud of him for recognizing that he needs a smaller school. His adviser has been wonderful and instead of withdrawing, they have encouraged him to take a one year leave of absence, so that if he changes his mind, he doesn't have to re-apply. I thought that was nice. </p>
<p>So sorry to lose your son as a Tulane student, but of course what is important is what is best for him and that he is happy. As has been said before, it is impossible to know what really fits until you try it on. Usually it fits great, occasionally not. Best of luck to him at Stetson!</p>
