[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is she asking for your advice? If so, I would advise either a) seriously considering a different school or b) actively doing things separate from the boyfriend for some balance.

If she's not asking: Keep your mouth shut. It's her life, you raised her well, trust that and trust her.

Adults don't like unsolicited advice, and like it or not, she's an adult now. [/quote]

PP just to add - I knew a couple who opted for choice B. They were high school sweethearts, top of their HS class in VA, both went to UVA. They actively cultivated individual friend groups. She joined a sorority. He developed tight bonds with a group from his dorm (including me). They're now happily married, 20 years later. I think I met her... three times? In the first three years of college, despite being in a tight-knit group with him and hanging out every week. She started spending more time with us our fourth year. I've honestly spent more time with her as adults living far apart than I did when we were all at the same school. It was a really good way to handle this (particularly considering neither of them was going to turn down UVA over this). [/quote]

I’m assuming OP is worried that her daughter is the type that won’t make an effort at making her own friends if her boyfriend is around.  I’d be worried about the same thing with my own daughter. [/quote]
