<p>i'm worried that i won't meet anyone new...i go to a nyc private school and i want to get away from that scene. but my friend at cornell told me her roommate is from a nyc private school like her, and that there are a ton of nyc private school ppl in her dorm. do you think that this is a coincidence? or will cornell (if i get in) be high school all over again?</p>
<p>im sorry you are in that situation, im pretty sure most colleges either do it random or they put people of different backgrounds together, so if it was random that was really weird all of them got together, and maybe its b/c they were all in the same school at Cornell, like CAS or something, i'm lucky if i get in, there will probably be at best, if everyone from my school and I get in about 5 people going to Cornell, you should email cornell and ask how the housing arrangements work once/if you get accepted</p>
