<p>Well like some earlier posts, I think we hear a lot of the negative and less of the positives…or at least that is what I feel. My D seems to be getting along fine, classes not as challenging as she had hoped but she is doing very well in them… she did mention transferring at one point but mainly to get to an engineering school for a major more suited to those institutions. </p>
<p>Socially is another issue. She said she has given up to having a social life there. Not a lot to do in town and she doesn’t like the solo tour. Just gets old being alone going places. Tried 3-4 groups EC and they just meet so infrequently not helping. She has a single on a floor or singles but never sees her suitemates ( 4 total) I sense that the weekends are the hardest because she does have acquaintances in her classes just not out. The school is fairly rural and she is from a big city and that alone went into the “what was I thinking category.”</p>
<p>She eats alone as a rule. Has treated her comrades from class to lunch at the dining halls but still has not found a group to be with for meals.</p>
<p>I am just being supportive and proud of her for doing so well at adjusting in general.</p>
<p>SHe is 6 hours away in another state University with 82% instate quota…I think the ISS are clinging to each other and soon they will branch out to meet new people…we will see.</p>
