In "Homeschooling- A Family's Journey" there are several studies sited that say that homeschooled children are perfectly well adjusted for college. They are so well adjusted that some colleges specifically recruit homeschooled students because they are self-motivated and understand the goal of college isn't to party and make friends. I believe Brown is one that has a homeschool admissions counselor to make the transition easier.

As a teacher, the hardest transitions I have seen though are homeschooled students who are dropped into a public 8th grade for some unknown family reason. These kids have a hard time adjusting to the terrible world of public middle school. It's not their fault that they have expectations of decency, kindness and civility!
