[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS (from private HS) attends a small (not super competitive LAC).  It has a well developed freshman experience and your student's advisor is the teacher of a freshman seminar your kid takes.

Yesterday during campus move in, my DS ran into two professors that know his name and that he was excited to see.

These schools exist - look for good freshman experience, residential housing that is integrated into the academic program, small classes where you can know your professor and good advising.

Some suggestions might be Union College in NY, University of Denver, Elon.

on the other hand, my son's friend is a freshman at a big flagship out of state - the freshman had to move in a week early and there are no required activities - so the kid is basically sitting around with nothing to do.  He hasn't made friends yet and it's the weekend and no classes until Monday. That seems really hard.[/quote]

My kid went on a week long camping with other freshmen trip in the Adirondacks led by the wilderness club. They showed up to move in already knowing a dozen kids. SLACs that care know how to make freshmen orientation work.  [/quote]

Vassar?[/quote]
