Go to UMO not UMF unless there is a very specific program/career reason to choose UMF. At a bigger university you can find more people with all different kinds of interests and build your own community. At a smaller school you are kinda locked in to trying to be friends with whoever is there.

I think you missed the "introverted" part.

No, I didn't. I went to a small college for undergrad and later lived right next to a bigger university campus for a few years post grad. As someone with introverted tendencies and some social anxiety, I much preferred the larger community where I could anonymously slip through the crowd if I wanted but also find people I really liked to spend time with, rather than feeling forced into social groups and cliques like I found at my small college.

Makes sense. I didn't get the whole "hide in plain sight" thing. My bad.
I am an introvert and I lived off campus because I couldn't even slightly deal.
