[quote=Anonymous]We live in the PNW but all of our family is on the East coast. D d has not had the easiest time socially and thought in last fall she wanted a fresh start so she applied to schools all far away. Now that it is getting close to the deadline she is having a hard time pulling the trigger. She has narrowed her schools from 10 down to 3 - all of which are a plane ride away.

She has executive functioning challenges and unmedicated ADHD - dh's refusal to medicate so she struggles with social confidence yet is highly social. She is seeing so many people on the class of 2024's Facebook page post perfect pictures surrounded by friends and introduce themselves and seek roommates but she is petrified to do herself. She said she has joined several group chats and I try to get her to participate but I doubt she is.

Her number one school is Ohio State yet knowing that 80% of the school is from Ohio makes her nervous Even though I try and reassure her that people are looking for new friends.

She worked with a counselor to narrow down her college choices but in the end the counselor was very useless so she refuses to meet with someone over her social nervousness.

She's anxious about committing to a roommate so she will go random.

My question is how many incoming freshmen are actually "making friends" via Facebook and group chats? Will most truly be arriving on campus alone?

Any advice?[/quote]
