As soon as Meshach Malley arrived at Denison University, he felt, by his own admission, socially shortchanged. The lunch table was “tough” as the then-19-year-old freshman from Columbus, Ohio, struggled to mingle with fellow students swapping high school stories. Malley had no “capital for conversation” to begin building friendships, he says, for he had never attended high school.

Malley had been homeschooled since kindergarten.
