[quote=Anonymous]DC is a junior and starting to look at colleges. He is a very smart kid with lots of “quiet” interests - he will read and go on deep dives researching topics of interest to him, but doesn’t have any “hands on” hobbies. He is not involved in school activities at all (he plays one low key sport), and stays home most weekends. He enjoys himself when he goes for a burger or to movies with friends, but never initiates this. There are many school clubs I think he’d love, but he won’t put himself out there to try anything.

As he starts to explore colleges, I’d love to look into some that encourage students to push themselves out of their comfort zones. I know he’ll be successful academically most anywhere but I also want him to explore interests outside of the classroom and in books/laptop while in college. I am not unrealistic- I know he won’t undergo a personality transformation and suddenly become class president. But if there are colleges that have some framework in place or a culture that encourages kids to explore, try new things, etc, I’d like to put them on his list to research and visit.

Thank you. [/quote]
