[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kind hearted sensitive girl will be attending, sad I found this post and read it. Definitely dampers some excitement and can only hope you’re all exaggerating for emphasis based on a couple people you know. [/quote]

One of the PPs above.  She may be fine.  Try to get on a hall dorm not a suite.  My kid was bullied mercilessly by her suitemates and had to move (then they moved on to another girl, who also later moved).  I think a hall gives your DD more opportunity to meet a wider variety of kids.   Have her get into clubs to try to find her people (mine did but one of her cruel suitemates was in the main club so that dampened it for my Dd but she did make a couple good friends that way).  Frankly, had my kid been in a regular dorm, not a suite, she may have been ok.  Her suitemates were very cruel (while pretending to be her friend) and it really messed her up and she spiraled downward.  She moved out (oddly, to another quiet across the hall because that is all they could offer her) second semester and it was much better, although I would not say she was happy there.  I think she just started on the wrong foot and never recovered.  I hope your DD loves it.  It’s a beautiful school and there are a lot of things to love there. I really wanted my DD to love it, but  she is happier at her new school.[/quote]

Sounds like every school ever. [/quote]

Nope.  Not really.  I have had daughters at 2 other schools and not had this problem.   Elon was definitely different in that way.[/quote]

Again if everyone else is the problem then you’re the problem. sounds like one of your kids is not like the other. Grow up and stop blaming 6k kids for your delicate flower child. [/quote]
What an attitude. No amount of advertising could undo the impression this comment gives. Elon is off DC's list and we won't be looking back.[/quote]

If YOU are seriously curating YOUR KIDS list for them based on some anonymous DCUM poster who doesn’t appreciate their college being dogged on by some disgruntled mommy, you need your head examined. [/quote]

While I agree that it does not make sense to create a list based solely on DCUM, I would like to point out that there is more than 1 “disgruntled mommy.”  I know because I am one of them and all of the comments are not mine.  The to e if your post certainly says a lot about your personality (and quite honestly does not help your pro-Elon case).[/quote]
