[quote=Anonymous]My DS is a junior and is having an up and down experience.  He's at a mid sized school (about 8000 undergrads) so it's small enough that you constantly run into people you know on campus.

Academically, the first semester freshman year was a little bumpy (he got a D in one class.). But he figured out to study and which classes to take and he's been doing great since then.

Socially, he quickly found a group of friends.  He was loving the social aspect of college.  Then at the end of sophomore year, he had an ugly falling out with his roommate over a girl.  He decided to change his housing for this year, so he's now living in a single in an apartment with three other guy -  all four of them were strangers to each other.  His social life has taken a major hit.  He has joined a couple of new clubs, and he talks about grabbing meals with his classmates after class or study sessions.  He loves playing sports and has done a couple of intramurals with one of his new clubs.  But he still spends almost every Friday and Saturday night by himself.  It's hard to break into a new friend group junior year.[/quote]
