<p>Dandemom - your D’s experience was similar to my D’s. She is still living with one of her freshman suitemates, but the other two were much different. Nice young women, but different. </p>
<p>My D thought of herself as liberal until she was a student at Yale. What I think is interesting, is that without ANY prompting from me, she found her way to a church group in New Haven where she made some really nice friends and with whom she traveled on a couple of mission trips. I think if she had gone to a conservative school (not that any of the OP’s options fit in that category), she would have been less inclined to connect with a church group. </p>
<p>Now - that doesn’t mean she doesn’t party and have a good time - that is certainly on the agenda, but she found a balance. </p>
<p>Dandemom - wait til next year at this time - then the tears will really begin to flow!!</p>
