LOL. Original poster here. Honestly, that is my impression. A family member lives near one of the campuses and often (pre-covid) did her running/exercising on the campus. She said she found it odd that students didn't speak to one another or a nod/smile when walking by each other. My DD is outgoing and has been around many different types since Kindergarten. Always friendly with everyone but I feel like she doesn't have any BFF's. She gets invited to the nerd parties and the popular kids parties but doesn't go to any! It doesn't seem to phase her. 
She does like interacting with teachers and it seems you really get that at the LAC's.  I just don't want her to have NO friends. They may think she is weird because she is black, urban, middle class and outgoing.  It is ultimately her choice and hopefully, she can spend time on campuses in the Fall. [/quote]
