[quote=Anonymous]Unless your daughter has a plan to get out and meet people (sports team, clubs, job) she is likely to struggle for a while relying on meeting people on her dorm floor at a big state university. The reason is that all the students are uncertain, and many who are in-state will initially cling to the handful of kids they already know. My oldest is a sophomore, and he still primarily hangs out with 4 people from high school. He expanded his circle a little with friend-of-a-friend, but for a pretty social person I'm somewhat disappointed that he hasn't taken the opportunity to get involved or make more friends not from our area. Meanwhile, many parents of out-of-state students spent a lot of time lamenting on fb how hard it was for their DC to make friends, because all the in-state kids already knew each other.

With your DD's anxiety and all of the uncertainty of schooling for the next year, I would suggest staying home one year and doing community college. Many universities are understanding of the situation and allowing delayed enrollment or transfers in.[/quote]
