I agree that it's sweet and romantic to transfer to be closer to the boy one loves and YES, it was NOT running away, to leave a school where one had 'the crap beat out of them'. However (you could see this coming from a mile away, I'm sure...), the difference I see here is one of practicality (which, of course, does not exist in the Glee universe) whereas Dalton, a prestigious private school that most likely leads to Ivy League schools and such, would not be a school to transfer out of to go to McKinley, a public school that we, the audience, have seen is simply NOT the academic challenge of a lifetime. This was made abundantly clear when Schue visited Kurt, and Kurt straight out said that Dalton was much more challenging academically, and we saw that he was studying in his spare time.
If nothing else, FINN appears to be passing his classes, and this is a student who cheats off a girl who cheats off another girl who has Downs Syndrome.
Personally, TBH, while I originally didn't want Blaine to transfer for the first semester so that we could see the Warblers sing, and also see BOTH Kurt and Blaine come into their own (rather than ALWAYS have Klaine plot-lines, rather than the two of them having separate plots for themselves), I loved the manner in which the transfer was achieved on Tuesday so much that I no longer give a crap about any of that stuff and just want to see more of them b'c they were so adorable on Tuesday I melted into my bed.
And that's ignoring the sweet, sweet Hummelberry...
If it helps in any way, my sister (after college) moved down to North Carolina, to be with her BF of the moment (he had both friends and a job, whereas, at the time, she simply had HIM), and we (her family and friends) strongly recommended against doing such a thing, since she was basically just following him down there and who knew what was going to happen? But she is very strong-willed, and she went anyway, and they were together for a number of years until (actually) they DID break up but by that point she was settled in the area, had a job and friends of her own, and eventually found the man of her dreams, with whom she is with now (and clearly would not have met, had she not moved down originally with Jeff) so these things are not always cut and dry.
