<p>I'm currently a senior in high school and i absolutely fell in love with my sisters college the day i saw it, which was actually her move in day. She seems like she wants me to go to her school but I'm not sure if she's just saying that or really wants me to go. I didn't really think much of going to the same school, since its a fairly large school(7000 students) i felt like i would basically never see her unless she invited me to her dorm which i thought would be cool. But now I'm wondering if i would want to go to the same school as my sister or if my sister really wants me at her school. Im just worried that ill be intruding her new home.</p>
<p>I’d say tell her you’re considering applying there (that you love the campus) and ask her if it would bother her at all. We’re not mind readers, only your sister knows how she feels about this.</p>
<p>Personally I’d say it’s not a huge deal. You might bump into each other from time to time, but it’s a big campus so it’s not like you’ll be seeing each other all day every day.</p>
<p>Are you both planning on the same major? It’s possible you may never see each other, unless you try to. Even if you pass each other between classes, that doesn’t mean you have to stop and hang out with each other if you both don’t want to. And it’s not like you’ll be so-and-so’s little sibling everywhere you go. Most students won’t even know you two are related unless they happen to meet both of you and you say that you are.</p>
<p>Just talk to her about it. If she says it’s fine, all you can do is accept her word. You could both go years without spending any time together at school if you wanted to.</p>
<p>How much older is she than you? Did you go to the same high school at the same time?</p>
<p>No, basically completely different majors hahaha. She’s going for psychology and I’m going for economics.</p>
<p>Have you visited a lot of college campuses? I would encourage you to check out a number of schools, and if you end up liking your sister’s college best, that’s great. Just wouldn’t want you to pick the only college you’ve ever visited. Make some overnight visits there also, and make sure it is a good fit for you.</p>
<p>Choose your school based on what you want. Whether your sister is there or not should not be a consideration.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Then you might be even less likely to run into each other, considering you’ll be taking very different classes in different departments.</p>
<p>It’s really going to be a non-issue. I went to the same high school as my brother in a school of 2000 and I barely saw him. In a college campus, it’s even more likely that you won’t likely see her unless you plan it. I honestly think that she genuinely wants you to be there, if not, you could ask her about it. Like, I really like my college and I think it would be cool if my brother could go here to experience the same thing as I did, because we’re pretty close. But if there are any doubts, you could ask her.</p>
<p>In any case, you should apply to a wide variety of colleges and this is not a decision you have to make immediately. The priority should be what you are looking for in a college, not whether your sister is there. If anything, knowing your sister there can be a benefit because it will open new doors, in terms of inside knowledge of the place and relationships. If you don’t want to interact, that is possible too. Many of my friends go to the state public school, where 50 other members of the class go to. Most of them say they have only seen people from high school once or twice at the most if they don’t specifically make plans to see them.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>My brother and sister both went to University of Maryland. My sister, the older one, didn’t seem to care when my brother joined her. In fact, she had a car his freshman year so she was able to give him rides home and stuff. However, during the week they wouldn’t see each other at all unless they made specific plans to hang out. I think that if you love the school then go for it. Good Luck!</p>
<p>I would take a look at that college and others…if you don’t care and she doesn’t care…then put it on your list!</p>
<p>You’ll be lucky if you even run into each other. You have the right to choose the school that you want. She doesn’t get “dibs” on a school of 7000 people, it’s not like you’re trying to be roommates.</p>
<p>I went to a school with about 2300 students. There were a handful of students there whom I knew from high school. Except for one girl who lived in my dorm, I almost never laid eyes on the others. With 7000? Yeah, what other people are saying.</p>
<p>Apply. I never saw my sister at school unless I had to hunt her down because she moved our shared car. </p>
<p>Agree with everybody else here. My sister and I went to the same college and very rarely saw each other unless we made plans to hang out, were both using our shared car, or our parents were coming to see us. Apply if you want to, but explore other colleges too.</p>
<p>My sons may be in the same situation, at a much smaller institution. I think it would be a very nice courtesy to discuss it with your sister. I know I would have LOVED to have my sister choose my college, but she didn’t even consider it, lol. My older son would be a senior when my youngest is a freshman, so my guess is he won’t care much either way and that they won’t really see each other. At a school of the size you mention, I think you would have to make plans to get together! But it is still nice to ask.</p>
