do peeps at uva actually make new friends?
by: fairfax
Ok so like half my hs is coming here this fall. And it seems all the '15 and '16 grads from my hs here mostly hang w the same friends from their hometown. I think my high school feeds a lot of the same sorority and fraternity houses. Most of the girls are still dating the boys they literally took to like 10th grade homecoming. No hate, just doesn't seem very "college" ... is UVa sort of just the same high school cliques hanging w each other?
Not to sound lame but isn't tough to reinvent yourself and branch out when you might know like 200-500 kids here from your hometown?

About 200 people from my high school came to UVA, but you do branch out. You make your main friends usually through your hallmates, joining a specific club you're passionate about and making new friends there, or for like 30% of us, joining Greek life. Making new friends and branching out is easy because in the beginning most people don't know anyone and are desperate to make friends. I remember my roommate was from NOVA and spent the first few days ignoring us while we all bonded to hang out with her HS friends. But even she made several close friends in our hall! I wouldn't worry :)

you do not know 200-500 people from your hometown who come to uva...that is just blatantly false. No it is not hard to branch out with everything uva has to get involved with as well as just not hanging out with them on the weekends. I'm always skeptical of people who criticize others for continuing to be friends with people they have known for years and enjoy hanging out with...be friends with people you want to be friends with just because you are in college doesn't mean any friends from before are suddenly subpar
