CollegeGuru,

Start with the thread about Project Outreach and its blog that I just put up.

My S has many different friendship groups he interacts with. He has befriended kindred spirits who love music and he started working and socializing with students from various schools and planned majors at NYU. He has friends who reflect all the talents of schools and depts. like Tisch (photography and art design), Clive Davis Dept. of Recorded Music, CAS Economics (business), CAS (Social Sciences and Humanities; Pre-Med). S is making music and doing gigs (with music management/business thrown in). The students all have a lot of fun, challenges as they put together shows and events.

S also met up with a group of students with diverse talents and interests who will room together in a large 6 person suite at NYU Sophomore year. They will be cooking, shopping for each other (this involves members from another suite in the same dorm, Coral Towers). They have also offered each other support the past academic year. To the point that they were trying to support, counsel and encourage one friend who was struggling with class attendance and school work. They made a point of reminding him to attend classes (calling him up) and exhorting him to keep up with his school work. The rest of the students are serious about their school work and make sure to attend and participate in classes. Really a nice friendship group. Some of the group members planned a spring trip together out of the country. They have been good friends and support to each other. A beautiful thing to see even to a spectator (like myself).
