[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Such a toxic idea, that you have to “dispose” of all of your old friends and high school acquaintances to prove you are doing college better than those who stayed locally.  I went to college far away and would’ve loved having a few high school friends there to use as an anchor while also making new friends, but I am fairly shy.  My sibling went to our state flagship and met lots of new people but also ended up married to someone from our high school.  Also has tons of friends from our high school even now in 30s.  Frankly I am jealous of this! [/quote]

Our kid met several of their HS friends & acquaintances over spring break.  Some the first weekend, some the last before heading back to college.  Those kids met up and just hung out together and ... baked!  Yup as in making batter and baking.  Boys & Girl. Brought tons of goodies home and they were yummy. 
Doesn't mean they are not branching out in college and creating new contacts, but when they know they are all back in town they meet up and just have a fun together.
Those kids all have gone completely different path, from CC, part-time local college while working, college one hour away to college several states over.  [/quote]
