| I know this was already answered elsewhere... but, seriously. My brother's a junior at Carolina from in-state and is mainly friends with oosers. It seems like the only way it enters into your friendship when you first meet them. "Hey, where are you from?" "DC" "Ohhh, okay, a lot of my family lives in Alexandria." That kind of thing. And if you meet someone and where they're from is just one word, ie, Greensboro, then they're from in-state.
It doesn't seem like it's an insider vs outsider thing, but simply where you're from. I know myself and a lot of the people I know who are in-state who are going to Carolina do not plan to keep in good touch with their current high school friends, simply because I and the other people I know have always envisioned college as some place far away from every one you knew before.
I have known one girl out of like, thirty from my school to go to UNC, who comes home frequently, and every one thinks that's a little weird. Carolina has so much stuff to do during the weekend that no one wants to leave. That's when the fun kicks up! Where else are you looking? |
