[quote=Anonymous]My kid loves it. I feel like it's important to manage expectations- before he left home, I told my son that kids rarely stay friends with their freshman orientation cohort and that most of your long lasting friendships will be made sophomore and junior years. I told him to expect it to be a bumpy transition- plan on sitting by yourself in the cafeteria sometimes, and occasionally not having plans on a Friday night when it seems like everyone else does- and that's perfectly normal. Join clubs and get to know people, and realize that it takes time to settle in. It's so different in terms of dating now, too- my kid doesn't seem to be interested in dating, nor do his friends, they hang out, play board games, go to concerts, etc. He loves college and my D26 is very much looking forward to getting out of her small, private HS and having the type of experience that her older sibling is enjoying.[/quote]
