[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]All the talk here of high school cliques is a bit disconcerting. Is it hard for kids that didn’t go to a FCPS high school to make friends? Are the high school friend groups excited to expand their group of friends to include new people? It sounds sort of awful. [/quote] +1. My kid would be bummed. [/quote]

it is a very large school so your kid will probably not have trouble meeting new people. I know a kid who is from OOS and he is absolutely thriving.[/quote]

Most of my kid’s friends are from OOS.  [/quote]

I attended back in the late 80s/early 90s from a Fairfax Co HS.  I didn't hang out with anyone from my high school and rarely saw them.  My best college roommate was from NJ.  My dorm mates were from VA Beach, Richmond, other parts of the state and some out of state.  I also became very close with a few girls from other Fairfax Co high schools--not near mine.  This was great because we would meet up in the summer or catch a ride back on holidays.  Now as the only one still in the DC area, they come back to visit their parents on holidays and we always spend a night or day out together.

What I loved about Tech was that it was a big school so you had anonymity and choices.  At that time, greek life wasn't a huge deal.  You still hung out with your friends and went to parties whether you were part of the greek system or not.

I was ready for a new start in college and I got that.  [/quote]
