[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child, specifically. She is the opposite of a sorority girl. Very sophistocated in my personal opinion and has a lot of experiences kids her age haven't (and vice versa, as she grew up outside of the US). She seems to think it would be a big party with very kids who are very "Virginian," which she finds distainful. Doesn't everyone find their tribe?[/quote]

What are her interests outside of school?  My DD is at UVA right now and we know several more introverted kids there who are doing really well!  BUT....they took initiative to join clubs/teams/etc that interest them.  One is on the club running team and having a blast.  One is involved in the medical fraternity.  Another has gotten involved in volunteering through Madison House.  Point I'm trying to make is....they would be fine, but they have to know how to take initiative and actively look for things that interest them and get involved.  If they are the type to sit around and wait for things to come to them, they won't be happy.  UVA is full of kids who take initiative and get involved, both introverted and extroverted. There are many many options for both kinds of kids there.   [/quote]
