[quote=Anonymous]I think it's near impossible to consider any campus "kind and gentle" because these places are smaller subsets of the world. The world is not always kind and gentle unfortunately. The best thing you can do for your kiddo is highlight coping mechanisms that he can put into place and that he can control to deal with the moments he is "triggered". Internal locus of control vs. external locus of control. Maybe it's going to the gym, or maybe he gets involved with a club of some sort. I just think there will always be all sorts of people on a college campus. Your son has to learn how to navigate finding a supportive set of like-minded friends or else you are setting him up for failing in the real world. He will always have to deal with some kind of conflict. He might surprise you and that's part of the growth that happens when going to college. Also, talking to a school counselor will help! [/quote]
