<p>~I know i start WAY to many threads, so i promise this will be the last one (for today) back to my question...</p>
<p>How is life after your Senior year (in college)? I know people rather go to grad school of start thier professions, but besides that what? How is grad school? Is it like undergraduate school? Does everyone (friends) split up and go to different colleges like they did in high school? </p>
<p>if you did not graduate then plz say what you think its like :)</p>
<p>thank you</p>
<p>As far as being like undergrad, it depends on the grad school, but they all have a lot more work. For example it's impossible to compare the clinical years of medical school to undergrad. But the first two years of med school can be very similar (there are a variety of different curriculum setups for med schools though, so some aren't anything like undergrad).</p>
<p>Yes, people do split up some. This is likely more prevalent if you go to an elite private school. I went to a state public undergrad and then the same states med school, and I knew quite a fair number of my classmates from undergrad. </p>
<p>But yeah, the splitting does happen. My fraternity brothers are in about 10 different states, and only a few have stayed in our college town.</p>
<p>I think most people who go to grad school split up. Of course there are those "I only want to work/study in California" people, but if you get into a top program elsewhere, you move. I think most people lose in touch with people after senior year because people work, move, etc.</p>
<p>people split up. That said, schools often place a significant number of graduates in certain areas (DC, NYC, Boston, Chicago, Atlanta etc). There will surely be people from your school in any large metro area.</p>
<p>My friends are all following where their education / job search takes them.</p>
<p>yeah, I agree. Right after senior year there's usually a 3-6 month transitional period, which is where I and the rest of my class are right now! From what I've seen, most people have gone back home to regroup or they are in an "urban tribe" with friends. Past generations have tended to part ways moreso than our generation. This generation has seen an "urban tribe" movement in which small groups of ~3-20 students break off from their class and continue to live in community together post-college.
Of course, many continue on to grad school and so forth. I don't know that it's quite the same as after HS graduation but it's definitely an interesting and exciting time.</p>
<p>I agree with the above posts. But you can't beat big cities like Chicago, DC, NYC, Boston, etc that attract thousands and thousands of young people. You can choose to stay with your school people or not. For those going off to grad school, particularly in Middle America, it's a real split up. I'm going to my grad school all alone.... as far as I know :( but that's okay. I need to branch out big time after living at my LAC for 4 years!</p>
<p>i always knew school wasn't my strongest aspect. hopefully i'd do better in real life. ><</p>
