I have a non-athlete son at one of these schools and view this statement as accurate.[/quote]
As do I and several friends. Patently false based on our collective experience. But at least you and I speak from fact, not conjecture. The poster above is making a lot of assumptions for someone with zero boots on the ground.[/quote]

I am the commenter from above.  I suppose what I would say I agree with is:  as a non-athlete coming into the school without a preset group of friends/acquaintances, and without a set of events and activities to stimulate this socialization, the NA student's initial social opportunities and interactions are often based on initial living arrangements, which can lead to 'luck of the draw' friendships and socialization.  This can be different when 30% or more of your hallway (or building, or whatever) already has social engagements and friend groups, versus a large school where it can be less than 10% of your "hallway".

As the responding poster has said, this is just based on my limited experience with a child in this environment and I fully understand that everyone will have different experiences and views on this.[/quote]
