[quote=Anonymous]My DC at a LAC thought that the smaller size made it easier to make friends— if you strike up a conversation with someone after class or at an event you tend to see them again in the dining hall, at other events, etc, so it’s a more natural way to get to know them before reaching out to propose meeting up rather than reaching out to someone based on one conversation. Also DC now knows enough people from class, clubs, etc, that if no one in their friend group is in the dining hall or at an event they always know someone to sit with. For some, that might seem stifling, and maybe in a few years it will feel that way to DC,  but at least for the first year I think it has made making friends and the transition much easier— it seems like there are fewer kids sitting alone in the dining hall, feeling really unconnected during first year. The downside is that I don’t think there is as much opportunity to be constantly meeting new people if that is something that appeals, and if there is drama everyone knows about it. [/quote]
