[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved the anonymity of it.  My Ffx co high school had 359 in our grade.  I knew everyone.  Most for over a decade.  I wanted new.  I wanted not everyone to know my name or did crazy things without fear everyone would be talking about it.

I loved the crowds and tail gating and fun.  The good friends I met were family amongst the larger setting/crowds.[/quote]

Funny, my kid did not want our state flagship because she knew some kids from her high school were attending it wanted a fresh start.,[/quote]

[b]If she went to her state flagship, she could easily go 4 years without running into those kids or knowing anyone who knew them[/b]. [/quote]

THIS. is what happened to DS at UVA.  He never saw his friends from high school or even other Eagle Scouts.  I would ask "do you ever see So-and-so?".  Nope.  He made his own network and was very very happy and successful there.  He did not join a frat but participated in several of the 800+ clubs.  He received the best letters of recommendation I have ever read and still visits with his professors when in the area.  Hands down a better experience than I had at my four-year slac.[/quote]
