[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure if it's a generational thing or big state school thing. I went to a SLAC 30 years ago and it was super rare to see people eating by themselves.

When we've eaten in the dining halls on admitted student days, seems like half the kids are eating by themselves. Also see vast majority of kids walking by themselves or sitting in common areas by themselves.

Is this just how it is these days or is this because of the size of the school so this was happening 30 years ago as well at large state schools?[/quote]

I went to a university with a dining hall in each residential college. I would walk in for lunch alone after class and almost always sit with others because I knew so many people in my residential college. I usually went to dinner with a friend, but if not, would also have found someone to sit with. I did sometimes eat breakfast alone; I recall that being a much less social meal (except for weekend brunch).

I almost always walked around campus by myself, since my class schedule was usually different from my friends. I think this is pretty common. As for sitting in common areas or libraries, I did this by myself sometimes, other times I'd make plans to study with friends. It just varied. [/quote]
