[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most dorms have a little seating area on the floor.  If she sits there with a book (or her phone, but a book is better), it's like fishing....someone is going to walk by on their way to/from the bathroom and stop and say hi.

After meeting a couple people maybe she can do a board game with them (although hmm where to get the board game...but if she had one, it could really turn fun)

Mostly, I just want to say, I'm sorry, OP.  At that age, (frankly at any age) it takes guts to walk around knocking on people's doors.

If she leaves her dorm room door open, that might help.

FWIW we paid $$$$ to send our teen to Georgetown a few years ago.  It was her dream school (we used to live near it but had moved to CA)

It was a great program, but she came back with one big idea--that she would never go to GT because she didn't like their food!  OMG![/quote]

OP here. LOL. Actually, it was similar when I was in high school and went to a program like that. I was convinced I wanted to go to that school, but by the end I realized I didn't. But it did help me think about where I did want to go and why.

There was a funny thread a while back on the college board about "dumb" reasons your kid didn't like a school. One that stood out was, "Too many trees." LOL.[/quote]
