Well, you can preemptively deny yourself that option (the option to participate in an amazing, tight-knit, welcoming, and fun community) in the hope that you’ll make your own yourself. Or you can join it and make sure you take the time and make the effort to get out as much as you need.

Honestly, I knew nothing about Goddard when I applied, but after living through it (and it’s exactly as you say it is), I can say that it’s an incredibly maturing thing to realize that people around you aren’t stimulating themselves socially and that you ought to push yourself out of comfort zones. Given the chance to do it all again, I wouldn’t change dorms in a second. Goddard was amazing, and I made sure I found amazing people outside of it too.
