[quote=Anonymous]We have twins with very different results. DS1 is at Yale and struggling hard. School work has been fine and academically he is excelling, but socially it has been a massive struggle and he says he really doesn’t relate to his peers at all. He also finds the club scene horrid and is refusing to join next semester- though we are encouraging him. DS2 is at Pomona and has had a great time. He found a strong group of friends during orientation and they’re all doing pretty well from what he says. The hardest transition has been academics- I think he believed going to a liberal arts college would be a chill experience and he spends almost every waking minute working hard. Campus politics were an issue for a bit, but everything has simmered down. The distance has been a struggle for both.[/quote]
