[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I enjoyed my college time but it was very different. Now have a freshman, and it's stressful: pick a major, keep up with classes, find an apartment for next year, avoid the drunks in your dorm throwing up and fight to find your people within the first 6 months. [/b]There is just a lot of pressure for these kids (and yes, I say "kids" and not "adults" b/c living in a dorm in not adulting.) 
It's a positive experience and he's happy to be there and it's going fine. 
But time of your life? Eh. [/quote]

Do you mean different than when you were in college? How so? [/b]I remember all of the craziness (esp of freshman year) and I agree that it’s a lot but when you are young and energetic and excited to build a new life and meet people you have the energy for it. I had a wonderful time in college but it was one of many, many other great periods of my life. [/quote]

Different experiences completely. I went to a school with 800 kids, so you just saw everyone at dinner every night and walked over with your hallmates. Classes were so much easier than what my dc is taking now. I lived in the same dorm for all 4 years, 3 with the same roommates. Easy to get to know people. 
DC is at 21K people school and not as easy--he's not a drinker/partier so it's been harder to find his people. Hates his dorm and has to find a place to live next year with not knowing people well enough. I think the pressure is much greater than what we experienced. [/quote]
