That would certainly be the better choice of those two. Still, I think it's good for some home schoolers to do what they can to fit in to some extent (it's certainly more important in some careers than in others). Luckily, at my school, fitting in need not involve any drinking, sex or the like (after spending this summer at Georgetown--my first real time living in a secular environment--though, I see what a rare blessing that is).
I guess I just never had trouble fitting into real-world situations - grocery shopping, or hanging with friends - the college scene just isn't real-world. I mean, try growing up with six siblings and not knowing how to get on with people.
Dear Young Scholar,
"...after spending this summer at Georgetown..."
Do you go to Georgetown? That seems incongruous with:
"...and I go to a Christian college..."
Although Georgetown is a Jesuit school, it has a pretty poor reputation as a rather heterodox Catholic school. Not really on par with Christendom, Thomas More, or Thomas Aquinas, in terms of being a real, actual Catholic school.

What is wrong with your point is something that is becoming more and more obvious in today's society. Not everyone is alike. Not everyone needs to be alike, identical, fit in. Yet, that is what is pushed by the socialization club; people need to "fit in." Fitting in with "everyone" is conforming to the currently accepted norm, which is usually not healthy.
Like JenB said, homeschooling provides children with real world skills and the ability to fit in at day to date activities: the grocery store, preferred social groups.
I encourage my children to not fit in as much as possible, to be unique, and to be strong in their beliefs.
