<p>So, my guidance counselor recently told me that kids who go to NYU are generally very outgoing.</p>
<p>This is a problem for me, as I am a very reserved and quiet kind of person. Does this mean that if I do go to NYU, I won't fit in? Or that I won't be able to succeed socially?</p>
<p>Please help! :'(</p>
<p>dude, don’t worry about it…college is whole different story</p>
<p>im sure you’ll find a crowd…</p>
<p>If it helps, I’m also pretty reserved and I’m applying :)</p>
<p>I hope we both get in, then :)</p>
<p>yeah lol im shy at skool but its because ppl are wierd at my school haha idk i applied there, didnt get in, and am gonna transfer there. u shud definitely go. maybe the rowdy kids will make u less shy. and overcome it! so ull have more friends…do things thatll make u less shy like go up in front of a crowd. ull get used to it. also, if ur shy in front of ppl that dont like u or act wierd around u, ignore them. cuz thats not the REAL u. hang out with fun people : ]</p>
<p>oh and not everyone is outgoing. as with any school. so u’ll fit in</p>
<p>There are both outgoing and shy kids at NYU… which is the case for any school.</p>
<p>I’m shy too and I go to NYU. There are hard things about being shy but that doesn’t mean that you won’t fit in. There are a lot of people at NYU who are shy also and i don’t think they’re “failing” socially… so don’t worry. you’ll be fine. I mean honestly, being outgoing doesn’t guarantee that you will fit in or succeed socially.</p>
<p>Believe me you’ll be fine!
I was shy during early HS, but as jr and sr yr came I became more social and well Its great pluse people in college are more mature so you’ll have no trouble dealing w/ ppl. =]</p>
<p>you find out different things about urself in college
I always thought I was sort of an introvert in HS, yet now in college i barely wanna stay inside my room at all!</p>
<p>dont worry, you will still be fine at NYU if you are shy. there are so many people here; you will definitely find a crowd of people to hang out with. college is much different (and much better imo) than high school - people are generally more open to meeting new people in college. just remember that everyone else coming in are also starting fresh, and they are just as nervous to meet you as you are with them 
truthfully, no matter what college you select, you will be fine. hope this helps</p>
<p>lol yeah i was definitely like that in the beginning of hs. i think as u become a junior and senior, somehow u realize nothin really matters. ur gonna be gone soon and no one will know u…ppl base their friendship on ur personality so if u show that in college, u’ll be fine. ive taken college classes while in hs and ppl are SO much nice in college. they dont look at u in a funny way…like why are u talking to me? they all talk to each other and study together…i cant wait for colleggge! ill probably ruin myself cuz im innocent right now lol oh well. at least im still motivated so i wouldnt fail outta my classes lol</p>
<p>your guidance counselor is so =.=</p>
<p>Your guidance counselor is operating on city stereotypes of loud-mouthed pedestrians, taxis that make it their business to nearly run you over, and people who spit at you if you ask a question in the street. None of which are true.</p>
<p>For the record, like shjk I’m a pretty reserved person (not shy, I just don’t feel the need to always go out or anything) and go to NYU. You’ll be fine. The only thing I’d suggest is if you do end up coming here, go to some freshman events early (especially if you’re in one of the smaller schools). It’s definitely easier to get isolated here just because of the lack of a campus but it’s rarely a issue.</p>
