[quote=Anonymous]Two suggestions: You might consider schools that have "college houses", which are residential communities of students that learn and play together. Franklin and Marshall for example, uses that mechanism to help create bonds and a sense of community. I would THINK that is really appreciated by freshmen especially, and that if you were seeing your "people" throughout the day, they might nudge you go do more/join them for events. Colleges That Change Lives (please don't start flaming nutcases out there) attract a lot of kids like your son. They are small, so I found that my similar daughter almost had to get involved from Day One because there were no outgoing/confident kids elbowing their way into leadership positions or choice lab slots. Perhaps read up on some of those, or consider a visit. Good luck. He sounds like a great kid. [/quote]
