should i go to college for friends or actual academic stuff like decisions r hord. like a lot of my friends r going to ole miss but like they dont have the major i want.
You shouldn't go anywhere "for friends". Friends are an added bonus to certain activities / places, but you shouldn't just go there to socialize. Especially when it's something as life defining as college. You'll find friends, but don't make it the #1 priority.
If you're going to be paying for an education, you might as well make sure you're getting the education you want and you're not just sitting in a college you don't need to be at, just because your friends all decided to go there.
Also, you can make new friends at your new school - you can't get the education you want if a school doesn't have the major you wish to pursue.
As someone in university, you should go for the academics. As long as you're not socially inept, you'll make friends wherever you go. Everyone is in the same boat as you.
If you're making a huge investment like college, you should go wherever you feel will be the most successful - not where your best Judy is going.
Academics get your further in the long run, but I wish I spent more time on friends and less time on academics. It's definitely a balancing act. You have to juggle a lot of different things, but it's all a hard part of growing up.
Academics. If these people are really your friends, you'll still be friends even if you're apart for a few years. You learn pretty quickly after HS graduation that most of your "friends" from HS are irrelevant anyways, so it's definitely a bad idea to make such a big decision based on other people.
