[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC goes to a popular Virginia state school and I have been surprised by how Virginia-centric it is. My DC’s roommate is from several states away and feels like an outsider. I see many parents on the parent Facebook page complaining that their OOS child is having a hard time making friends.

Separately, I have heard that at big public’s like Michigan the NY/NJ kids basically stick together and there is, in general, a big social division between Michigan kids and the rest.

I ask because my other kid would like to go to a new state for college and likes some flagships but now wonders if that might be a bad idea. [/quote]

If you're an out of state rich kid, you join a frat or sorority. Period.[/quote]

This was my experience at Michigan. I was in state. Many of the OOS students self segregated. They thought Michigan was full of poor hicks and Long Island was far superior.

DS is looking at OOS schools. He is social and makes friends easily,  but also doesn’t care of people don’t want to be friends with him. It’s only a problem if it’s a problem. With the tech available these days, kids can easily stay in touch with high school friends [/quote]
