[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]OP here. I’m more concerned.  she’s ok for now. It’s not about having a boyfriend per se, but seemingly lack of quality guys period. Just more hookup and party. I would have loved ot see her a private school but he likely wouldn’t have gotten in in this landscape and only wanted warm. [/quote][/b]

[b]Dear OP, what kind of ECs and clubs is she involved in?  Participation in one of them made all the difference for my DD.  She was at UVA.  She doesn't like the Greek scene, so she auditioned, joined the school newspaper, crew, and the debate society.  The latter stuck.  She met smart, quality kids and a boyfriend through the group.  Even now, she goes back for the big debate reunions. What are her interests?  FWIW, she and her boyfriend went church shopping every Sunday(and sent hilarious posts).  Like everything in life, success and happiness is largely self-made.  She needs to figure out what activities she wants to do for fun, where the cool kids are, and proceed accordingly (and not be so desperate for a boyfriend - everyone can tell).. [/quote][/b]

+1.  State schools, such as UVA, offer numerous organizations to join.  UVA has over 700 student organizations and clubs.  If they don't have one that suits your daughter's interests, she can apply for funding to start her own.  And, yes, November, is too soon.  I was miserable my first term at my SLAC.  Largely my fault but I pulled it together and graduated first in my class.[/quote]
