<p>Sounds like your son hasn't found his 'people' at college adn isn't sure how to go about finding them. </p>
<p>We moved overseas when our sons were in HS. One wanted to move, one didn't. The one who wanted to move had 100 amazing friends in the US. He didn't realize that he might not find 100 amazing friends everywhere he went. It was a valuable, though painful, lesson. He found friends, but few were on the same level as his (extraordinary) group back home.</p>
<p>The son who didn't want to move now has 60 amazing friends. Those good friends add a wonderful dimension to his life. However, boys aren't the best at anticipating future difficulties. S2 will probably encounter similar issues when he goes to college in the US.</p>
<p>The complaint about spoiled, rich kids is a real one. The level of inane consumerism is not to be believed--and hard to stomach. If you or H have had similar experiences, you might offer up a few coping strategies....</p>
