[quote=Anonymous][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.

[/b]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]
This was EXACTLY my experience at Wisconsin. [/quote]
