[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not all shy people want to be at a tiny school that's a LAC. I know a couple of shy, introverted kids who LOVED huge schools like Berkeley and Wisconsin because they could do their own thing and find their own people.[/quote]

Thank you.  I was a shy, introverted kid but attended a large state school because it had the major I wanted.  I absolutely loved it.  No, I didn’t magically become an extrovert but life was so much more interesting being surrounded by all sorts of people rather than a tiny, stifling environment full of other people just like me who need lots of alone time.  I met some of my best friends there - they knew when to make sure I was included in events and when to give me space and downtime.  I didn’t go Greek, and most of my friends didn’t either.  We nevertheless had plenty of social opportunities.

My own introverted kids are looking at similar schools.  They realize they can find their people much more easily when there are more people to be found.[/quote]
Lacs are not sniffling and are diverse. Agree with everything else.[/quote]
