I’m willing to wager there isn’t a college or university in the country that doesn’t have some kind of “strained” relations with the broader community in which it resides. A thousand or so teens descend upon a campus, away from home for the first time in their lives and kicking up their heels … and you honestly think there won’t be at least SOME repercussions within the neighboring areas? Get real. My daughter graduated from Wooster in 2010. She loved it there and, for the most part, the town loved the school back. There were very few problems. … As for “cliques” … again, not a problem. Whenever and wherever you put people together, especially young people, groups will form. It’s human nature, for Pete’s sake. It’s called “making friends.” As for people being cruel and exclusive, no. That was not a problem, certainly not one that my fairly shy daughter ever spoke about. She came out of Woo with her own cohort of great friends, who nearly five years later have remained with her solidly as she navigates her path through life. It was a great experience, those four years in Wooster, Ohio, and she says she wouldn’t change them for the world. So stop worrying about nothing.
