[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just got back from orientation. DD was miserable. She connected with nobody and felt awkward in the small groups. She normally is not shy or socially awkward. Worried she may have picked the wrong school. Anyone else experience something similar? How did it turn out?[/quote] Did she have a tight close friendship group in HS? The ones that I see having the hardest transition to college are the ones that had a great HS social experience. It it takes a while to build that back up. The ones with meh experiences tend to adapt a little faster. At least that has been my experience. [/quote] I found this to be true as well. Kids who had a meh or unpleasant high school experience tend to look forward to college, moving on, and making new friends a bit more than others who had a fulfilling high school friend group and loved it.
