[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] But mostly, I think it is the fact they have no Greek life and kids generally live for at least 3 years in the dorm they were assigned freshmen year. And dorms are random assigned so interesting mix of kids. Dorm becomes identity and immediately becomes de facto social life (people to sit with at lunch, dorm events) until they meet people in other ways. My kid will have dorm friends for life (so nice to have several social circles). [/quote] This consistently seems to be a good approach. Details vary a bit from school to school, but places with a university-wide mandatory “house system” or “residential college” system seem more likely to be successful. Its no accident that Oxbridge works this way.[/quote]
