<p>how come there isn't many fist fights in college like there are in high school? is there an explanation to this phenomenon?</p>
<p>because people are more mature....they might get expelled for it.</p>
<p>People in high school are more ignorant. But there are fights in college.</p>
<p>The type of people who are involved in fights in high school are less likely to go on to college.</p>
<p>Hmm. Interesting question. I think it is because aggression is channelled into other outlets, as well.</p>
<p>Part of the reason is likely because once you're in college, you're usually 18 or over. At the age of 18, a "fight" turns into "assault." The whole getting arrested thing may be a deterrent.</p>
<p>Also, the fights aren't probably going to be coming on campus like you always see at high school, but off, at houses, parties, on the street, etc.</p>
<p>Gshine nails it.</p>
<p>I think everyone that has answered is pretty much right.</p>
<p>People are too busy studying to get into fights.</p>
<p>There are plenty of fights at OSU/Michigan football games.</p>
<p>um...i dont know about you all, but I've NEVER seen a fistfight break out at my high school.</p>
<p>people pretty much nailed it... </p>
<p>joev, those people are drunk, they should get multiple charges.</p>
<p>Kit416, depends on where you went to HS. It was not the rarest of things to see 10 police officers at my HS on certain days. MS (<-- this is a huge national/international gang) is in the area, and it's best to try and deal with them when they're younger. I would've been very happy if all the fights at my HS were with fists and not with other objects...</p>
<p>kit: where did you live? goody goody land</p>
<p>or maybe you want to a private school with only 20 people graduating from the senior class each year.</p>
