Connect with people in college with whom you fit. There will be some. Might be better to go to a school with a poor overall fit, as the outgroup solidarity will likely be stronger.
You’re not going to connect with everyone. Aim to connect with a bunch well.
A lot of individuals’ outcome variance comes out of how their particulars (mis)match their situations.
For each college seeker, I’d advise: Seize a school that feels like a good/promising cultural fit. (Which may not even exist, for a lot of us.)
