[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is VT for an introvert? DD is in there for engineering, and the idea of a big campus appeals to her, but we’re worried about her falling through the cracks. We’re going to leave it up to her, but I’d love to hear about experiences of kids who aren’t the outgoing, advocate for yourself type.[/quote]

We have found that it made all the difference for our own introverted child.  She made friends freshman year with roommate and hallmates, and continued finding "her people" through clubs and intramurals.  Not at all interested in Greek life, along with the majority of students there.  DC *became* more outgoing and advocating for herself - we could tell a difference after only the first semester.  It's amazing how much confidence she has now whereas prior to college she was relatively shy and reserved.  She's now even dating a guy who is also somewhat introverted and they have a great group of friends.  I think she'll always be an introvert (like me!) but her world has opened up so much from going to VT.  [/quote]

I could have written this exact same thing about my Engineering Hokie daughter. Except she has a girlfriend instead of a boyfriend :lol: [/quote]
