[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Hang out with" is a subjective term. She's surrounded by people. She will never, ever be in this (imo fortunate) circumstance - surrounded by 30,000 of her peers the same age.[/quote]

This is why you don’t send passive kids or frankly any teen you really care about to a gigantic university for undergrad. THIS is why families pay a premium for private college. Nobody there cares about her. Nobody there is looking out for her. Nobody even notices if she never leaves her room and skips classes for weeks. And if God forbid something bad happens to her, the university machine will cover it up.

The only thing that gets anyone’s attention there is the check for tuition and room and board not clearing.[/quote]

Bull. I went to a huge state university, and made friends immediately. But this is back in the 80s, before today's helicopter mommies.

I was in a sorority, a fraternity little sister, honor societies and the school newspaper.

And I'm sort of a plain Jane, but I found it easy to connect with people at college.[/quote]
