[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was worried about my introverted DD who always struggled to make friends. But her college has Welcome Week for the freshman with tons of activities that are NOT optional. It's designed for students to get to know others in their dorm. It includes upperclassmen who show each student where their classes are, so they are not lost on campus. Each floor has groups that meet for dinner that crucial first week, so nobody eats alone. After dinner there's bowling parties, mixers, and other events designed to get kids out of the dorm and meeting others. The first week on campus there's a ton of ambassadors in bright green tee shirts - you can stop them if you are lost or need help in anyway. She was still shy and introverted, but she participated in everything and found a small but kind and supportive friend group. [/quote] This sounds like W&M. The mandatory orientation activities with dorm-mates made a huge difference for my daughter. [/quote]
