[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of mine went to VT with one of his best friends from HS and still seems to hang mostly with HS friends. But I know plenty of kids go there and never see HS friends. I think DS's experience is more the exception. Most of these schools are really big and you CAN continue HS social life but only if you - and your HS friends - want it to. It takes that desire and real proactive initiative to maintain those friendships. [b]Also, the fact that the top 10% can get into UVA (and really it's more like top 5%) doesn't mean all of that top 5% only go to UVA.[/b] [/quote] Yeah. That part stuck out to me, as well. Some of those top 10% will be at JMU/VCU, etc. Even if 30 people from his school go there, that's just a small amount of the total student body. There are over 600 kids in my DC's grade and they don't even see most of the now in HS.[/quote]
