<p>I think that friendships between upperclassmen and underclassmen are common if you’re involved in certain activities. When I was an underclassman, I made lots of upperclassman friends through orchestra, tennis, and other clubs.</p>
<p>Interesting, at my school people generally make friends in their own grade and ignore the other grades (although I’m sure there are exceptions): However, the classes of '08 and '09 are not very fond of each other and I can definitely sense an animosity between them. It seems like everyone in the class of '10 (sophomore) are stuck up and happy not be freshmen anymore. And the class of '11…um wow I forgot they were totally there (except when they crowd the halls with their ginormous backpacks and road blocks…I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been late to a class because of a “freshman road block”).</p>
<p>It seems that there are fewer defined boudaries between grade levels here. For example, I’m a sophomore but a plurality of my friends are juniors. Freshamn-senior and freshman-junior friendships seem to be rare, but only because the freshmen just got here.</p>
<p>I know and befriend many freshman. But few sophomores and seniors. Right now I’m a junior.
As of current… my “friend distribution”
Freshman: 35%
Sophomores: 15%
Juniors: 45%
Seniors: 5%</p>
<p>I don’t have the statistics on hand. I can tell you though that when I was a freshman I had a huge number of junior and senior friends and almost no sophomore friends, so take that for whatever it’s worth.</p>
<p>i dont really talk to much of the underclassmen and im a senior
most of my friends are seniors and some are also juniors
even in the clubs that im in, there arent many underclassmen, maybe because theyre too shy to join or something</p>
<p>I think it depends on your activities. I’ve met a lot of underclassmen through doing the musical, although i’m not GREAT friends with any of them. Most of my friends are either juniors or seniors. (I’m a senior)</p>
<p>I had lots of junior and senior friends as a freshman because of the activities I did. At my school, most kids don’t start joining clubs til about soph or junior year, so that’s why I meet so many upperclassmen. And sports. I don’t think it’s as rare as you think.</p>
<p>um just to point out, a freshman junior relationship is the same as a sophomore senior relationship except one year later lol
im in drama so i wound up having just about an equal amount of friends in every grade level from the time i started as a freshman. of course, you always make fun of freshman at first, but then around december you realize that they are really people too lol</p>
<p>i think except for a couple of ecs like drama at our school (since so many kids play sports, theyre usually broken up into frosh, jv, v teams), freshmen are pretty segregated from the rest of the school - they also have their own “freshman building” and take most of their classes there, but cross the street to the main building for languages, advanced maths, etc… but when you get to sophomore, junior, senior, its all over the place. my friends (im a junior):</p>
