[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious if those who would prefer small LACs are more shy or perhaps less confident?

Going to a school with equal or less students than their high school, especially in the middle of nowhere like some LACs - is not appealing to my social kid. [/quote]
Meh. My kid is an absolute social butterfly and just doesn’t want to go to school with 40,000 people. It’s not like being at a big school actually means you socialize more. It’s great to be an introvert at a state school, because you could go your whole 4 years lonely and no one would bother you.[/quote]

yes, i actually feel like my friend's more introverted friends are the ones who are happiest at the giant state schools.  They spend a good deal of time alone and are happy to just see friends once a day or every other day.  If you thrive on human connection these schools can be challenging. Every interaction with friends requires formal texting: "let's meet to go running, let's eat dinner tonight, let's grab coffee."  If you really love people and friends and want to see friends 3 times a day it can be exhausting to constantly be having to arrange things. [/quote]

Meant to type "I actually feel like my CHILD's more introverted friends......"[/quote]
