[quote=Anonymous]NP. Yes, my freshman has apparently made a few friends with whom she goes to meals with, etc. But the reason I wanted to weigh in is because I think there is a variety of approaches that colleges take to orientation. I was really interested in Haverford College's orientation week which seems to really focus on fostering new friendships and a sense of belonging; my DC did not apply though, simply because she wanted to attend a bigger school. DC was interested in McGill but their orientation is mainly a weekend that apparently focuses on going out to clubs/bars in the city. Since she isn't the kind of person who is proactive about meeting new people, I didn't think she could make friends easily in that situation. For unrelated reasons she opted for another university and I was relieved that it has a very robust orientation week (also "dry"); the many activities have given her chances to get to know other kids--though mainly in her dorm at this point.[/quote]
