<p>Roomates and suitemates are great, but i dont feel like they would be like the friends i would hang out with or the close friends i had like when i was in high school. Anybody feel me?</p>
<p>it may seem this way now, but i think the general consensus post-college is that you'll be closer to your college friends than high school ones. you do a lot of growing up in these four-ish years, much more so than high school.</p>
<p>i still keep in touch with a handful of high school friends, but mostly through annual meetups and AIM. but college friends? they're the first ones i call with news, celebrations, and troubles. in fact, i'm flying out to san diego next month to visit my old college buddies ("old" being of a year and two months) ... haven't told my parents that i'm coming, they'd be pretty upset if they found out i was in the same state and didn't stop by home :)</p>
<p>i think i'll be closer to my hs frds than my college frds D:</p>
<p>Out of the eight suitemates I lived with in freshman year, I only ended up being good friends with one of them. Once school starts, maybe try to join some campus clubs if you feel like you haven't found a good group of friends to hang out with. I know that advice sounds kind of cliche but it really is probably the best/easiest way to meet new people. </p>
<p>Also, going into my third year here I would say I'm closer to my college friends now than my high school friends, mainly because I see my college friends almost everyday and I get to see my high school friends only a few times a year.</p>
