<p>Texasmom. I think if your daughter gets involved in Hillel she’ll be fine. My S was also very shy, and for the first couple of years he lived in Daniely so the suite style worked well for him. It was a good group of guys and they developed a good friendship over the four years. He did indicate that parties are easily found (even during the week), but if your D finds the right group from get go it shouldn’t be an issue. My S never felt pressured to drink, etc. Good luck.</p>
