<p>So anyways, there’s a student (class of 2013) at a school I am applying to that I deeply loathe. I won’t go into details but he/she and I have never gotten along. The school has about 10,000 students, but is relatively closed in. (won’t name it for privacy reasons). </p>
<p>Should I take this into consideration if I choose to go to that school?</p>
<p>One person shouldn’t sway your decision good or bad to go to a school; especially one that has more than just a couple thousand students. Chances are you would see said person here and there, but can’t you just ignore them? Letting a single person change a potentially life changing decision is just stupid. I would not let it be a deciding factor.</p>
<p>Are you kidding me?</p>
<p>Am I being punk’d?</p>
<p>No, and I can’t really elaborate, but besides the fact that I do not like him/her,he/she is just downright creepy (like he/she may have some mental problem). I know it’s probably stupid to ask this but I just can’t see myself at the same school as him/her. I like the school but it’s just one of those things were I just want to get away from this person.</p>
<p>I don’t see the point of this topic.</p>
<p>Go to the school and get a restraining order. Simple as easy.</p>
<p>never-mind. I can’t give enough detail since I don’t know the identities of the posters. The person is not violent or anything, just strange (like maybe autistic or aspergers but in a weird way?)</p>
<p>No, you should not care about it.</p>
<p>If I can live in a neighborhood which has less than a hundred people and not run into the one person I don’t like, I seriously doubt you’ll run into this one particular person. My old school had around 10k undergrads, and I barely ever see people that I knew from years ago.</p>
<p>If they have some kinda creepy stalkerish obsession for you, I’d say you should care, but from what you’ve said, no. Just…no.</p>
<p>Speaking of which, should I abandon a school because of my friend? Or the other way round as well? Like if she gets a offer from Stanford and because I haven’t even applied she decides not to go to Stanford.</p>
<p>@golfer, ONE student out of 10,000 should not deter you from attending that school. Maybe you didn’t know, but there are students with mental problems and disabilities in every campus. Besides… unless you’re roommates you can “avoid” him/her with little/no effort</p>
<p>10,000 is big enough to get lost in the crowd and avoid this person.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>But if you do end up being roommates with this person, it would make a really cheesy made-for-TV movie about bridging the gap and accepting each other’s differences. If that does happen, can I have the licensing rights to your story?</p>
<p>I don’t know why people are beating you up so much. I felt the same way applying to these schools. After I found out someone got in ED to a certain school I applied to, I was like, I don’t wanna go anymore. I only went through with the app because of the fee waiver.</p>
<p>However, I did end up going to college with someone I seriously hate. Undergrad population between 1300-1700. Is it bad? Uh no…not really. At first we acknowledged each other with conversations. Now we oscillate between ignoring each other completely (not totally intentional - we just don’t hang out together) or barely acknowledging each others’ presence - e.g. with a nod or an eyebrow thing…lmao.</p>
<p>It’s kind of in the back of your head, but you’ll realize that you will meet people in college that will make you even more uncomfortable than the people you thought you hated before you entered. Such is life.</p>
