Bumping into your high school classmates in college?

^ that was mean…he’s just asking a question

well I go to NYU and 9 students from my HS class went there - yet I rarely bump into them around campus! there’s about 50,000 students in the whole university, and about 5,000 for each class. there is no enclosed campus, so that makes it even harder to run into people. None of my old classmates are sci majors so I’ve never seen them in classes. I occasionally run into them in the library, bookstore, coffee shops, around campus, dining hall, parties, etc, and we say hi and make friendly small talk, but we’re not really friends. Chances are that if you don’t click with someone in a small HS class, you’re not going to be best friends with them in a huge college class. I heard that 2 of my old HS classmates just transferred in, but i haven’t even seen them yet. It is likely some will be in your dorm building, but every building has hundreds of students so you might not run into them much at all.

I don’t know much about USC, but I know it’s smaller than NYU and has an enclosed campus so that might mean running into old classmates is more common.
