[quote=Anonymous]I think that small colleges are great for kids with anxiety. Also someone will notice when they aren't in class (if that happens) for any length of time and actually do something about it. Even colleges with 2000 kids don't really feel that small. It's not as if you get to know everyone and there are still a TON of clubs, sports, options to get involved in. I actually think it's a little easier to make friends at the smaller schools. That said, one of my kids with GAD went to a big school and really loved it. But they did end up making it smaller by joining a sorority (a mellow one) and joining another club where they spent a lot of weekend time. So even big schools need to be made smaller is my point. And also be careful not to unconsciously undermine your child's sense of independence by being more worried for them then they are. You ultimately want them to be able to function independently even with GAD. Good luck OP.[/quote]
