Firstgen - You are not alone. Chimneykid has not “fallen” for her school yet either but there is evidence that she has bonded with the school in many important ways, and she seems more comfortable than a few weeks ago. It’s a process I guess. She is doing well, and she has a wide circle of friends on campus but I don’t feel she has totally found her groove yet. I think her advisors would be very surprised to hear this too as she is also “not a complainer.” I haven’t had any email from her advisor since the “hello” email sent the 2nd week of school so I guess that’s good?

And it is not just the boys who need to be drawn out. I definitely get as much milage as possible out of that 5 hour drive home! Chimneykid is also still very bonded with friends at home. Does anyone have a BS child who managed to maintain friendships at home for more than a year after they left? I think she is coming to terms with the separation but she still misses her friends terribly so being home is a bit bittersweet.
