[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LACs can be a difficult environment for a shy introvert. Everyone knows each others business at small schools. Like living in a fishbowl. Hell on earth.[/quote] Absolutely this ^^[/quote] Totally agree. I was shy (and also fairly introverted, but more shy than introverted) and went to a SLAC because that was where everyone told kids like me to go. I was miserable for the reasons above. I transferred to one of the bigger Ivies sophomore year and had a wonderful experience. I loved the anonymity of big classes, and I had an easier time socially because the wider array of extracurriculars made it easier to find people I had something in common with. Friends who loved SLACs seem to me the opposite of shy - super-social people who are open books and can strike up a conversation with anyone.[/quote]
