[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster. New question. How did freshman first semester go for everyone’s kids? Do they like their college , roommate, dorm mates? Get involved socially at all? My kid says he likes his college, likes his roommate, classes, joined an intramural sport but I get the sense (I try not to pry) that he stays in his dorm room a lot. Of course I’m glad he didn’t go crazy with parties, etc but I hope the kid starts having some sort of college fun times soon. I don’t say too much and I know it was a transition, but am hoping he gets a bit more adventurous in future semesters. Joining a few more clubs, exploring the area, etc.  He’s doing great so I really do keep my mouth shut ! Hope everyone’s kids are happy and adjusted well at their school. [/quote]
This is my DC.  They got 4.0, so I can't complain .  They care about their grades, but I told DC to also have a bit of fun and socialize more. They tried a couple of clubs, but they said it was boring.  They like one or two social clubs, and they do have friends; they are able to find someone to sit with in the dining hall most of the time.

I also hope they get more adventurous later, but not too too adventurous.  :wink: [/quote]

Mine too - 4.0 but even less participation than the two PPs describe. They said they have free time on top of getting those grades so maybe they will use second semester to broaden out a bit....if not socially, then find a job or research position. Time will tell but I hope they find a way to do more than just school. There are so many unique college opportunities out there. But it's not my life to live, it's theirs.[/quote]

I also hope my DC finds a way to do more than just school while away at college. I’m thinking if he’s just going to classes and back to dorm, he could have accomplished that by going to our CC.  It’s only been 4 months into his new surroundings, so I’m being quietly hopeful. Every so often I drop suggestion of joining clubs, major/career organizations and just different areas to study.
