[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious about what you're hearing from your freshman and if they're happy and feeling connected. 
Mine is not and I am trying not to worry. I know it's early. 
This is an historically very social kid who is finding that a large number of other girls are just not nice and will outright reject invitations to meet (dinner, coffee, etc)
Roommate is having a similar experience per the roommate's mom who I reached out to in desperation (wanting to know if what my kid was sharing was true or embellished for sympathy or ?) Turns out relayed the exact same things without me even suggesting them. 
UGH.

Way too early to worry.  They'll make friends in classes, clubs, or a PT job in a place with lots of other students (one of mine works in a coffee shop, and one is a lifeguard on campus). Oldest made lifelong friends with roommates from freshman year, youngest parted with their roommate after year one, never to be seen again - roomed with people of their choice years 2 and 3 (the same people).

Every kid is different[/quote]
