<p>I'm a Senior in HS, and one of my best friends and I both really like the same small LAC (around 2000 students). I have no idea if both of us will end up going there at this point, but it's definitely a strong possibility. We both already agreed that we probably wouldn't request to be roommates because we've heard so many bad stories about that, but obviously we want to stay friends! How many of you have gone to the same college as one or more HS friends and remained good friends with them. Did you make new friends as well? Both of us don't hang out with all the same people all the time. We both have a bunch of different friends already (along with many mutual friends of course). </p>
<p>And yes, I know this is super far in advanced, but I've been thinking about this question and am procrastinating.</p>
<p>Well, I go to UW-Madison and we got 5/38 kids from my class in here. I only hang out with one of them occasionally, but not too often. Basically all my friends I met at college. It’s hard with such a big campus and so much work to do to see some people (like my HS friends). I’m sure you’d see your friend more often at a small LAC than I see mine here at Madison, but as long as you’re not living on the same dorm floor or something, you can basically see each other/hang out as often as you both desire.</p>
<p>However, another example are my roommates; they both went to a large high school and have ~60 people from their graduating class here. They almost all exclusively hang out with each other. Not my piece of cake, but they all seem happy.</p>
<p>One of my good friends from middle/high school goes here. We are still friendly but don’t really hang out. He’s in a program that keeps him REALLY busy and all the kids in the program are really tight with each other.</p>
<p>2 of my friends from high school went to the same tiny LAC.<br>
They still hang out, and actually ended up rooming across the hall from each other (since the school is smaller, the chances of that are greater).</p>
<p>At a small school, you’re bound to know everyone.
It’s seemed to work out great for my friends.</p>
