“It’s a great school, but my sister and a lot of kids of family friends go there too. My sister and I don’t get along and I don’t want to be stuck with the same kids I grew up with that my parents are constantly comparing me to. If I stay, I feel like I’ll become even more insecure than I already am and that I’ll never grow out of my shell. It’ll be high school all over again. I want to be independent and have the space to grow as my own person- something I’ll never get if I go to one of these two schools.”
UMich has close to 30,000 undergrads. You’ll meet plenty of new people and can easily avoid hanging out with your sister and other students from your high school.
