i’m so sorry about this…college is weird. My oldest kid – great girl but always had a bit of problem making friends – completely flourished in college…now a junior, president of 3 (!) clubs, something to do every minute…while my younger, a boy, confident/smart/good-looking/kind…loads of friends…has met people no matter where he lived…has really languished after his first year. He’s flummoxed and so I am.

honestly, there’s probably a lot of luck to these things…you meet 2 or 3 people who become your base and you spread out…OR you don’t meet those people and it’s tougher.

One question: Is there a dorm that’s especially for transfers/upperclassmen at her college? One idea would be to restart by meeting a group of girls who are all in their first year.
