[quote=Anonymous]Hard to believe! It went so much faster than I expected. Lessons learned: The transition to dorm life was trickier than expected. Non-partying kid and a mostly absent roommate translated into some early loneliness. For future freshman parents, if your kids struggle a bit to make new friends, reassure them they will eventually find their people. Encourage them to find things outside the classroom to offset stress and have fun. And getting off campus and exploring the surrounding area is a great way to enhance the college experience. Help them find a plan for the summer and as with everything in college and beyond, support them when things don't go according to plan. And don't sign a lease for sophomore year too early![/quote]
