[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those bringing up their experience years ago, please understand that this generation of college students is having trouble connecting for whatever reason. That's not to say that everyone is struggling, but many are.

My recommendation for anyone concerned about being OOS and out of place is to try to find a roommate who is also OOS. Several friends and my nephew were roommates with in-state students who maintained their social connections from high school ad did not include the OOS kids.

Nobody organically "starts fresh" and branches out anymore because social media and iPhones keeps everyone hyper-connected to their same high school cliques. And every new potential friend cyber-stalks your social media to see if you're "compatible." Joining a frat or sorority is a must.[/quote]

Uggh, that’s just gross. I highly doubt everyone vets friends that way. Boys sure don’t.[/quote]

Agreed! My son is currently finding friends in his freshman dorm by playing ping pong and pool.[/quote]
