[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid had a tough time at large public HS, never really finding his people.  Has loved college, very social.  I agree that maybe having things easy in HS socially may be jarring to some. I think my DC took his challenges from HS and went strategically into college knowing he needed to do things differently on the social front. [/quote]

Yes. I was the poster that wondered about this. [/quote]

I was that kid. The social side of my freshman year in college was an absolute revelation - so many people I easily connected with and enjoyed getting to know, in contrast to my high school experience!

But … it caused big challenges for me on the academic side freshman year. Turns out I had a lot to learn about time management and discipline once I had a thriving social life to balance in addition to classes and activities.

College is new for everyone. There will always be rough spots as kids transition to a new environment and lifestyle.
