<p>haha oh no, i know everyone’s entitled to their own opinion. And believe me, there are TONS of kids who found soulmates in their wilderness or IO groups, and are perfectly happy going back and forth up and down the hill. I just feel bad for the kids who are like, “all my friends live uphill and it sucks.” I have friends in my dorm, friends I met walking around, friends from choir and other activities. Also some kids who did pre-or, though they LOVED it at the time, now lament not staying home an extra few days with their HS friends. They were like “…yeah, I could have waited a week to make the friends I’d live with for four years.”</p>
<p>But, to each his own! I’m sure the trips were fun, I’m just glad my core group is in my dorm.</p>
