<p>I go to a pub school in boston and i like umass for business and size and everything. One problem, half my high school goes there. I don't wanna be with the same kids. could this be a problem or do people find new groups of friends?</p>
<p>It’s possible that your “pub school” is the same as mine. Here’s my 2 cents.</p>
<p>You are likely not going to see any of your HS classmates ever again on campus unless you choose to. I chose to hang out with a couple of them (4) throughout college but I never bumped into any of the other ones (>30), not even once. I might’ve walked by them but I was so caught up in my own thing that I never noticed.</p>
<p>This is one the pros of going to a very large school. You can be as connected or disconnected from any social group as you want without making a big deal out of it.</p>
<p>You will definitely find new friends.</p>
