<p>Thanks for the answer, it’s probably the best I’ve gotten. See the thing for me is that I went to a private high school as well, which had a lot of cliques, but I never let them define me. I do have that desire to be in tight knit community, but I also feel like I’m very independent and “mature.” Now, I guess you could say that’s just a claim. But being at another college, you are often tempted to go out and go to parties etc. But you learn a lot about yourself in staying in or going to the library and getting prepared to do your work. I feel like I won’t be too effected by New York, other than the Yankees fans…grrrrrrrr…anyways, I like the idea of not being defined by the groups that are there, but rather the ability to define myself.</p>
