Can anyone tell me how their ID Twins did separated in college

<p>Identical girls here, who always had the same friends, activities, interests, etc. However one, the more outgoing one, had the initiative to get into Rotary Youth exchange as a HS junior. </p>

<p>Which left her sister home to strengthen ties to the long term group of friends, and feel her oats in a social and personal initiative sense. By the end of the year, she dreaded her sister’s return, as she would have to share those friendships again. Things worked out fine (a therapist was involved). However the at home twin decided she really wanted separate colleges. </p>

<p>So they ended up in schools many hours flight apart for a variety of reasons. But they visited each other’s colleges, share friendships at those colleges as well as home, and now are living in the same state, and spend a good deal of time together. One took a gap year, which helped the mechanics of college graduations and so on.</p>

<p>Momofthree. I’d suggest one school on the semester system, and one on the quarter system.</p>

<p>We have b/g twins that are very close. They are already planning visits, skype, etc. and they haven’t even started applying to colleges yet ('13). It’s going to be hard on them. Even now if they don’t see each other for a few days they have to hole up somewhere and catch up with each other. My thought is that I would rather have them go through this separation period in college vs their first year on a job somewhere. In college there will be a support system in place and that might not be the case at work. There are a few schools they have both considered attending and could end up in the same place but right now their #1 choices are different schools in different states.</p>

<p>They don’t email or talk on the phone either, most kids don’t. They do text and both are fine with Skype.</p>
