Yes, us too!  Oh well.  He told my DH last week he was getting food from the cafeteria and just bringing it back to his room to eat, so that was kind of depressing.  I won’t name the school because it isnt a national  university or SLAC  so it wouldnt matter to anyone on DCUM.[/quote]

Sorry to hear this. Don’t give up hope. I was miserable for the first few months (after winter break actually) and then I met the right people and it all changed. [/quote]

I work at a university and those first weeks/months of college are often really difficult/lonely for a good portion students.  Take heart though that ones with "slower social starts" often find their social niche after they've established decent study habits/daily routines, so there's fewer examples of exhilaration and then crash/burn when the workload kicks in more.  Also, sometimes kids can be too quick to solidify a social scene-- they close themselves off from other possibilities/friend groups.  The slower ones get a better lay of the land. But it's probably good to keep an eye out for signs of depression too just in case.[/quote]
