[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have an opinion on how UMD would be for such a kid?[/quote] IMO UMD or a similar school (big state flagship with lots of STEM kids) would be the best fit for such a kid. If they went to a SLAC like Carleton or Grinnell or Vassar, they would be forced to be extroverted due to the small class sizes and the cliquey, insular nature of such schools. Going to UMD or a similar big state flagship would be best for nice, shy, nerdy girls. [/quote] I was that girl and chose one of those SLACS you mentioned (and didn't want to go to my state flagship, which is much sought-after today). I was not forced to be extroverted, but I did learn to be a little more comfortable talking in seminars. (That was a helpful skill for grads school!) The school was not cliquey or insular. I graduated a nice, shy, happy nerdy girl with lots of friends whom I remain close to.[/quote]
