Alum open for questions again (and still)

My daughter has been accepted to the A & S school. It seems that AU is her first choice, but I would like your thoughts on one aspect of the school. My daughter does not have (at the moment) any interest in politics nor international studies AND, more to the point, is not politically savvy or aware to the extent that it seems many prospective students seem to be. In your opinion, do you think this fact will be any cause for isolation or a sense of acceptance by her peers. I believe that college should challenge and offer these kinds of opportunities for growth and expanding the horizons. We certainly hope that happens to her; in the meantime, however, we don’t want her to feel out of the loop, so to speak, or like she has little in common with many of her peers.

If your wondering why AU (if no passion for politics or IS), she has her legit reasons.

Thank you for any insight you can offer.
