[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes.  My DC is at an OOS flagship and loving it.  I was not ready for a large college, so I didn't know how it would go for DC, but they are adapting so well and I've seen so much growth in the first 2 months.

As far as academics, DC is finding it completely manageable.  The heavy AP courseload in HS, plus all the ECS, made DC's time management skills really good and that is paying off.  DC is absolutely loving taking classes that are in their major.  Most GE type classes are covered by APs, but there are a few mandatory ones and the one DC is taking isn't their favorite, but it's not too hard.  I think they were used to a lot more personalized comments on grading, but they are still getting full points.

Making friends has gone well.  I think being in an all-freshman dorm is an advantage, even if it isn't the newest or the nicest.  I do wonder about next year bc kids are already talking about finding housing/roommates, but rush is in January and sophomores have to live in their house.  If rush doesn't turn out to be a good fit, I'm worried DC will have to scramble even though it's actually against the law to require lease signing until Spring (I've totally just given away the school for those who know).

They were a little surprised by the amount of partying, but do not feel pressured to go out any more frequently than they like.  It's been easy to make in-state and oos friends. The school spirit is off the charts and so infectious! And, fall could not be more beautiful.  Yeah, the dining hall chicken is sus and DC is not getting enough protein, but they are figuring it out.[/quote]
