[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was the point of paying for the private college for her to make friends or to get the education that's offered there?[/quote]

This ^^

It sounds like she's doing great in school.

I feel like you are saying that you sent her to private to rub elbows with a different class of friends? Don't worry about her social life if it has no impact on her education.

And - how do you know she isn't bringing along private college friends when visiting the public college?  Maybe the public college has more fun things to do (or better parties). I think it's great she's taking initiative to get out. Maybe they are coming to her school too.  It's not a limiting outcome...in fact....it makes her world larger (and theirs too)?

I went to college in Boston - I had friends at a variety of schools and we would go to events at those schools and friends at other schools would come to mine.  It didn't mean that I wasn't meeting friends at my school - it meant I was meeting friends at my school and hanging out with friends from other schools - like I said above - our world's were larger.  I am still friends with people from those other schools.[/quote]
