<p>Does anyone else find attending college with a high school classmate that you barely speak to awkward? </p>
<p>I don't know if I'm being unreasonable but I am moving over 300 miles to my college and it feels as if a small piece of HS if following me :/</p>
<p>If you don't speak to them then it shouldn't be that awkward since you won't really have to deal with them.</p>
<p>I was all happy about the college I'll be attending in the fall, but then I found out that a girl I know was going to go there. Then I found out that like 5-10 people from my HS will be going there. To make matters worse, we will all be in similar majors. They are a piece of my past that I want to let go of and now that probably won't happen.</p>
<p>I attended a school close to home where >10 kids went on to the same (private?!) college as me. a few of them i never really spoke to even around campus, but a couple i became really close with, even though we were never more than acquaintances even in college</p>
<p>When I started school I was the only person of my close friends to go there. However >20 students from my very large highschool went there. And just like BronxB. I Become really close with alot of them who I never said a word to during highschool. My bestfriend and I rarely ever spoke in highschool and now we can't shut-up when were around each other.</p>
<p>No. If you never talked to them in the first place you'll never talk to them now and it won't be awkward at all. I guess you could ride share if you wanted to save some cash.</p>
<p>¿ʞɔəɥ əɥʇ ʇɐɥʍ, how is that awkward?</p>
<p>I'm in the same situation. I usually just say hi or something to be polite</p>
<p>About 6 or so kids from my high school all ended up going to the same school. It wouldn't have bothered me except that one of them was the one person who I absolutely could not stand and had nothing but problems with in high school. I thought it'd be a nightmare seeing her around all the time. In reality, I've run into her only one time and we were cordial. Sure, still some hard feelings, but I think once you actually move on and start college and begin your college life, none of that stuff from high school really matters anymore. If you run into them, just be polite. You don't have to be best buddies.</p>
<p>depends on how big your college is.
if it's small private school you'll see them a lot, but at a big U it won't matter at all.</p>
<p>Not a real big issue, I went to a large college with 12 people from my HS class(a few others from classes below eventually came too) and only saw them once in a while walking the other way. I've never been in a situation where I had to sit next to one of them on the bus or had a class. They are just normal people, unless you did something in high school like crap your pants, I don't see how this can be at all negative to you.</p>
<p>I don't ever talk to anyone I went to high school with unless I want to, and I go to a university less than an hour away from my hs, so naturally a few of us ended up here. Actually, it's funny because quite a few, including a girl I absolutely despised in hs, have dropped out to get married and have babies, so the couple girls I tend to run into now are two really smart girls who were both val's (05 and 06) that I got along with ,but weren't really friends with, in hs and we are pleasant with each other. I actually probably talk to more people from class of 07 than from my own class (05).</p>

<p>I'm in a similar situation for next year (300 + far). I really didn't talk to her much before I knew she was going there. Now, we've been speaking a lot. Precollege, it's been pretty nice actually knowing there's someone nearby that you can talk to without really trying. It's been a huge help as she's been a good person to speak to about anything on my mind about the college.</p>
<p>If you seldom speak to them, talk to them a bit more. It can't hurt to know someone in case of an emergency or you're in need of a favor. :)</p>
<p>Two people from my HS went to my college about 300 miles away. One I didn't really talk to much, and the other I had been friends with from a bunch of clubs we were in together. She wound up becoming my neighbor's girlfriend, and the roommate was my best friend, so it was a little awkward going in to talk to my friend in the morning and seeing her still there from the previous night, but other than that it wasn't a big deal.</p>
<p>The one time I accidentally sat on her when she was hiding under the covers went a little bit past awkward, though.</p>
<p>There are only three other people going to the same place I'm going... and I'm going to Ohio State. So, chances are, I'm not going to be seeing much of them, unless I make the effort to see them.</p>
<p>I'm pretty good friends with the one girl and get along with the other girl, though. The one boy probably had a crush on me... and I can't say that I'm not glad that I'll be seeing a lot less of him.</p>
