College Life

<p>So I am going to my local flagship state school which is the best public university in New England.</p>

<p>I just recently learned that this really really big a-hole d-bag is also going to attend school here. I really don't want to see this kid at all, and he is probably one of the stupidest kids I know.</p>

<p>I told myself that something like this shouldn't effect college decisions, yet I really hate this kid.</p>

<p>I lot of people go to this school from my highschool. I have heard that you don't see a lot of the people you know at big schools like this, which I can believe. However. I am now thinking of going here for two years and then transferring to a better school for my junior year i.e. UCLA or Berkley if I can.</p>

<p>What are your opinions on this? I know that through your college career, you specialize more and more, and you won't see a lot of the high school friends anymore, but then there are the parties, extracurricular's, prerequisite classes, and stuff like that. I really don't mind seeing my friends from highschool, but this one guy I can't stand is going, and I really really don't like him.</p>

<p>Also, off topic question: if I transfer schools two years in, is it still possible to study abroad and graduate in 4 years?</p>

<p>If you study abroad in the summer, sure. Or if you can get credits toward your degree abroad, sure.</p>

<p>You want to spend two years in NE, then transfer all the way across the country and pay OOS fees for two really good schools you might now get into? Don’t count your chickens</p>

<p>I would just say kill the kid. Like you said he is dumb so people will think it was an accident. Then, problem solved.</p>

<p>Also, I never see any of my 640+ graduating class here at Umich. But, only two of us went here. And actually, now that i think about it, I see her like once a week. So you probably will run into him.</p>

<p>Again, I just say kill him</p>

<p>Stick with the devil you know. That would be my advice. The world is large and complex. You think you had seen it all? There are more jerks out there than you care to count. Trust me. You have not seen anything yet.</p>

<p>Alright, what gun should I use</p>

<p>And</p>

<p>Does anyone who goes to a large school that most of your highschool friends go to have any comments; how much you see these kids?</p>

5

<p>I said make it look like an accident. A gun won’t do. Just wait til he gets drunk and so something then</p>

<p>“I told myself that something like this shouldn’t effect college decisions,”</p>

<p>Its affect</p>

<p>-grammar nazi</p>

11

<p>^ It’s it’s …</p>

12

<p>you guys are very helpful, thank you all</p>

13

<p>Ah nice one</p>

<p>My high school’s graduating class was about 1600 kids. Probably a good 600 minimum are going to my U. I see people from my graduating class MAYBE once every 2 weeks.</p>

15

<p>I go to a large public university, where probably 25-50 kids from my graduating class also ended up. I’ve seen about four of them total, once or twice over the course of two quarters. Really, don’t stress over that. I almost forget that people from my high school go here, it’s that infrequent.</p>

16

<p>It’s pretty doubtful you’re going to see him frequently, if at all. Besides, people change in college. He’ll either become more of or less of a ******bag:)</p>

17

<p>The beauty about going to a large public state university is you don’t have to see people unless you want to. But perhaps you should rethink your future, if seeing one person is going to ruin your life. …</p>

18

<p>I go a university (not a huge university though) in the same city that I graduated from HS. I see some people from there a lot (and others not at all) and I don’t even go to the main social areas since I don’t live on campus. It happened more my freshman year than now since you have more classes with random people when you are working on lib eds.
This being said I think it would be wise to try ignore your hatred of this one guy. I think letting one person hold you back is not a good idea since you will meet a lot of turds in life.</p>

<p>If the possibility of seeing one kid out of a bajillion everyday is going to keep you from going to that college, then you got some other problems going on son.</p>

<p>About 40 people from my graduating class ended up at my state university - freshman class being around 5500-6000 students. I’ve seen one, because we actually planned to meet up, and another who was my TA (but…she was an upperclassman so I don’t know if this counts haha)</p>

<p>Don’t base your college choice on ONE person! This is cliche, but you will meet new people through classes, student organizations, housing, etc.</p>

<p>Once you’re in your major and finish most of your gen eds, you’ll be surrounded by people who have the same interests as you. I found that that was a great way to make friends.</p>
