<p>This may be a little random, but I was wondering what everyone's opinions on going to college with High School friends. Yay or nay? I'm not completely sure how I feel about, considering my two best friends want me to go with them. Any comments would be lovely :]</p>
<p>Nay, unless the school is one of your top choices.
Just don’t make attending the same school as your friends a priority before more important factors. :)) You could always keep in touch with your old friends and pretty much most freshmen will be looking to meet new people anyways.</p>
<p>I also say nay</p>
<p>you can’t base these very important life decisions on where your friends are, if they happen to go to one of your top schools, then great, if not, then trust me, u will be making much more good friends at any school u go to</p>
<p>also, there are pretty slim chances that you will be taking the same classes, unless you guys are in the exact same major, even then, the chances that you will get to take the same classes during the same quarter, same time and w/ the same teachers are also slim</p>
<p>i had a lot of friends in college, and even though we were all in sciences, we branches out into different specific career choices and rarely see each other on campus, so we just hang out after our exams are done</p>
<p>especially in such a large campus as UW, u might not see them much unless you are roommates, but it sounds like u have a group of 3 friends, so how would that work out?</p>
<p>They say that when you room as best friends, you come out as simply friends. I don’t think theres a LOT of trouble going to college with friends but, similarly when you transition from middle school to high school, part of the experience is meeting new people and not staying with the ones you already know.</p>
<p>i say NAY!</p>
<p>Nay. Your education > your current best friends. The thought of not being with your closest friends is hard, I know, but, unfortunately, your future is likely based upon what you decide to do with your education, so make it your priority to find the school that’s the best fit for YOU, not your friends. :)</p>
<p>Parent here. Definite Nay. Having your HS friends would make things a little more comfortable at first, but in the end may very well prevent you from making new connections. It keeps you trapped in the past, and in your case, might prevent you from making the best educational decision for yourself.</p>
