<p>@mkapur, haha that’s really funny! I’m from Seattle, WA, too! cheers…</p>
<p>I knew a few of my friends who were the only ones from our school going into their university, and most of them actually like that they aren’t going to a school where they do not know a good portion of the student population. It helps them go out and get to know more people instead of constantly gravitating back towards their high school buddies, and if they ever feel like they’re missing their high school buddies, there’s always Skype and winter/summer breaks to meet up with them.</p>
<p>I basically did (found an old friend when I got there). It is not bad going in alone, you will meet plenty of new people</p>
<p>I’m going to be going from Nevada to Washington next year for college… but, honestly, I’m looking forward to it. For one thing, I love Seattle, and find more reason to love it more every time I come back to visit. After spending my life in a rural area, there’s nothing better than the experience of a big city to me. Meanwhile, my friends have changed from the people I used to know and gone their separate ways… so, as I see it, time to start fresh. :)</p>
<p>I am! I’m from the southeast, going to the northeast. I’m the only one from my school going to my college , and I’m so excited to meet new people! The friend living closest to me will be in a bordering state (she’s also going solo to hers). I’ve already met some of my classmates at an accepted students’ weekend and talked to my roommate, though (:</p>
<p>When I transfer, I won’t know anybody. For the past two years my friends have been with me but they’ve pretty much given up on transferring here and have gone on to do other things. I am twenty one and everyone in my high school class('08) is graduating in the spring ('12). I’ll be graduating in ('14) hopefully.</p>
<p>Yes, I don’t know anyone who is going to my college (and I’m living at home and driving to college) which makes me feel nervous but I’m kind of just hoping for the best and thinking positively. I’m sure it will be okay (<em>reassuring myself</em>!) :)</p>
<p>hello,</p>
<p>When it comes to study and work we will have to forget our family ,friends and luxuries initially for sometime. This is only for our beter future .So neever be upset about going to college solo.It is just one of the ways to make you independent and help you leading a great life ahead.</p>
<p>All the best for your future.</p>
<p>There are a couple people I know at my university. But no one I’m close friends with, or a transfer student for that matter. Regardless, I’m looking forward to starting school!</p>
<p>I went all alone. I met a few people on visit weekend, and there was this guy who went to the church I went to when I was little, but no one else. The only person I knew who had a real shot at getting in (few people applied) was one of my best friends, and my entire college experience would have been totally different if we were going to school together. I can still visit her, so that’s all good, and I get to experience this school in a way that I wouldn’t have been able to with her.</p>
<p>I went to a school where most of the people were from in state but i was out of state and 900 miles away from home and I regret my choice because it seems like everyone knows everyone else or people they know and it’s so hard for me to connect with people here.
If you’re going to a school with a diverse student body where everyone will be solo too, then you’ll be fine.
But think twice before going to an out-of-state public school…</p>
<p>no one from my school ever ends up together except at the state school or maybe 1-2 local schools.</p>
<p>I will be the only one from my school going, and it’s exactly what I wanted. I didn’t exactly love high school and I’d like to get out of my state. I’ve been pushed to make friends with my future classmates already, and it’s just really exciting!</p>
<p>Did it three times over. I wouldn’t have it any other way.</p>
<p>Yep, I know absolutely no-one here from my state. Went to high school on the east coast, college in the midwest. I guess it’s easy to do this if you’ve switched schools six times and grew up in three different countries…so no big deal if I’m going to college “solo”, lol. I kind of know what to expect in a place where I don’t know anyone and what to do / how to act, just from experience. And it seems to work really well, I’ve gotten to know tons of great friends in the past two years in college.</p>
<p>I totally with going to school where you don’t know anyone, but what about going to a college out of state, where the difference in surrounding similarity is huge, and completely no family connection. Thinking about migrating north.</p>
<p>Yea I’ve done it. its kinda weird.</p>
