[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to an LAC. Although wonderful academically with many resources, [b]I found it so exhausting socially. People knew everyone's business and after a breakup, I felt like I had to make new friends since my ex was in the same group.[/b] I was so ready to study abroad.

I personally would look into mid-size schools that have smaller classes but more people to make friends with; transferring is different as some LACs might have very few transfers.[/quote]

Wow, does this resonate with me!  I had a similar experience after a breakup.  The school was so small that it became a big drama among friend groups and I felt like I was right back in high school.  Meanwhile, my own daughter had a breakup at her large school and while it was painful, she didn't have to worry about seeing her ex everywhere or finding new friend groups.  It's been a much healthier situation, and I only wish in retrospect that I had gone to a large school.  So many more opportunities - both academically and socially.[/quote]
I don’t relate to this at all. What kind of people are around here who have these massive breakups that are tearing up their lacs. People broke up all the time at Williams. We moved on with our business.[/quote]
