[quote=Anonymous]My started SR as a freshman as well and did not come in with friends either.  She has had a very good experience, but I do think it was an easier transition for the girls who played on a team in the fall of freshman year (she did not) -- gave them a good circle of friends right away.  She's made some really nice friends and is very comfortable there, but it did probably take her a little while.  I actually don't believe SR is perceived to be particularly cliquish compared to other girls' schools in the area, from the inside or the outside; I think it's seen as a less social and more academic school.  Although at any girls' school you probably have some challenging social dynamics, from what I can tell the SR girls are supportive of one another, and friendly even to those who are not among their closer friends.  I have heard about a lot more social pressure and drama at some of the other girls' schools.  I am really surprised to hear that about lunch -- I don't want to completely discount someone's experience but I find it really hard to believe.  My perception is that there are a lot of families receiving financial aid, so good economic diversity compared to some other girls' schools, and overall less of a "rich girls" atmosphere, or haves vs. have nots, than you might have at some other schools.[/quote]
