[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone. I'm in this boat too.  A high school junior DD who seems happy enough at school, has kids to have lunch with, involved in lots of activities, but doesn't seem to have close friends to do things with outside of organized activities but would like them.  What do I think would be great for her -- Yale's residential colleges.  6000 people at the college, so not too big or too small, and community fostered through the house system.  Since it is highly unlikely she is going to get into Yale, what's an alternative setting for her.  So far, she doesn't like the idea of a SLAC of 2000-2500 students -- thinks it would be small and maybe hard to find friends.    But would love to hear viewpoints on this.  Would an honors college at a state college be a good fit?[/quote]

I'm the PP above.  This is the advice I've heard from friends.  Honors colleges or any ways to create a smaller, friendly community.  Some say that dorm floors or wings have this sort of community feel as well.  [/quote]
