[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boy stuff already?

Seems like maybe she should use this time to focus more on her class work? Organizing her calendar around the course syllabi. Maybe forming a study group? Checking out the Writing Center. Really, she sounds like she is focused on the wrong stuff.[/quote]

This is OP and yes this is absolutely the case and I know it. Trying to emphasize that she needs to become acquainted with the libraries, not the bars haha. She is very social as I said, and wants to meet everyone and be friends with everyone. She is a people pleaser unfortunately. This will be a great growth experience for her, but has to get through it for now.[/quote]

I was a nerdy kid in college without much friends throughout four years and it was not a pleasant experience.  I determined not to have history repeat itself thirty years later.

My oldest DD is currently a freshman @Virginia Tech and she has plenty of things to do there.  When she is not studying, she either practices guitar, piano or go to play a round of golf at Virginia Tech Pete Dye River golf course.  She has already made friends who are also interested in music and golf.

OP's daughter should pickup a hobby and she will find many friends on campus who have the same interest like she does.[/quote]
