[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. My question isn’t so much about making friends (although I hope for that, too, of course!), but I’d love for him to try things of interest or possible
interest like for random examples- model UN club, intramural softball, campus radio station, volunteer tutoring, etc. I’m not trying to remake him, but am a believer that you get more out of life being part of a community than an island. He also needs to start exploring interests to spark potential careers/fields of
study. Hopefully someone will respond with campus environments that inspired their kids to try something new or get out of their shell a little. [/quote]

Not to be argumentative, but if you can't get him to do those things while he's a kid living in your house, how would a college get him to do them?

I hope all our kids come out of their shells more in college, but I think the drive probably has to come with age or maturity or greater confidence from within.[/quote]

This is absolutely true. It will come with maturity.  All schools have those clubs and activities but they are not going to knock on his door and said, hey do this!  [/quote]
