[quote=Anonymous]I think most kids feel this way, especially if they've lived in one neighborhood and gone through a school system where they always knew many if not most of the kids throughout their childhood. And the orientation activities that colleges set up, while well-meaning and undoubtedly helpful for many kids, aren't going to do the trick for everybody for all kinds of reasons. I hated that kind of organized get-to-know-each-other group stuff and didn't enjoy any of it, but once classes started everything was completely fine and over time I made many good friends. I agree with others that say at least give it the full freshman year before deciding to look elsewhere, since a big part of it's likely attributable to just the disturbing feelings attendant for most of us on any hugely significant life change. Most likely your DD will be about as happy there as she would anywhere else, OP, when all's said and done. [/quote]
