If she has a lot of friends transferring, etc. and she wants to also, I would let her transfer and get a new start provided the new school is "good" too. I would figure out if she could have a bit of a less intense schedule too, to make sure she is not overwhelmed; maybe add a semester (summer school?) the first couple years or agree it will take an extra year, etc. I know a lot of intense programs these days take 5 years to complete. It is her education and has to be done in such a way that she does well? I would find a school and program that works that way instead of one so inflexible and intent on doing things its own way with not thought to the individual student.
