[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have kids at Vandy and Tulane, they are both what I would consider extremely extroverted, friendly, socially savvy people. I have noticed that their more introverted friends seem to have a lot more struggles with rushing, internship recruiting, joining clubs, building relationships with profs, building / finding friend groups, networking, etc. All of these things have the potential to affect the entire college experience and post-grad outcomes. While these are all life experiences that are universal to college, [b]it becomes more pronounced of a struggle as a more introverted student when you are surrounded by many highly social extroverts. [/b]In many ways you are competing against them for various opportunities, so it seems to create an unnecessary disadvantage for more socially anxious students who would THRIVE in other environments.[/quote] this is very accurate at many schools. And moreso for boys than girls.[/quote]
