Uni vs. High School (2 Viewers)

[Queenroot]

They have their own clans as well

Fuckin colleges

 

[Jaxxnuts]

yeah and the northern beaches

its not like they are confined to their school only. They are confined to the selective circle jerk e.g. Ruse kids and baulko kids with nsb with nsg and then syd boys/girls st George Sydney tech Sefton normanhurst etc etc

yeah bur people usually come there with mates anyways so talking to others probably wouldn't go beyond small talk especially considering everyone is drunk

yeah and all these private school names I haven't heard of lol

you need to add the inner west as well

does the same apply to elite private schools as well (scots college, sydney grammar, etc). legit if the selective school nerds are still continuing this i doubt they would be able to communicate with others in the workforce (if they ever plan to get full time employment)

it seems the 'leftovers/miscellaneous' arent together

i honestly thought making friends at uni is easy bc once u join uni, you're in the same position as everyone (in some sense) as in the fact that you dont know most ppl and they dont know u either and then through lectures/tutorials/labs/student societies/sports teams you meet others and make friends with them

it seems that making friends in hs is much easier than uni

depends on many factors but I found making uni friends much easier and despite what people say about international students I find they are really chill to get along with

the selective circlejerk has been covered which i agree mostly but still in my field atleast (maths/ed) most are quite chill

Probably more prevalent in law/bus/eng which is why ironically dont have many friends from those fields

tbh they need to learn to socialise with others regardless of school (that's what i told queenroot with regards to those selective school students)

it seems u had a way different experience at wsu

cant u still chat to ppl at those large events? say u were in first yr uni would u get to know others in second yr or 3rd yr


i think this comes down to ppls personal experiences but personally i disagree bc i wasnt a fan of high school

wdym?

cant u still make friends in the east? (if u get what I mean)

Ofc, I've made a lot of friends at USYD this year (and have done a lot of networking too hehe)

Yes generally white people hang out with white people but no they are a bit less uptight

Not good at sports unfortunately

well my problem is I transferred and did different subjects to everyone so it was like being with different people everyday, but for others, it shouldn't be a problem

yeah but then I haave to act and/or advertise and waste trees by printing useless ads

You can do tech/well-being/producing/film/script writing + a bunch of other things that don't involve acting

 

[Queenroot]

not good at those either lol

Haha I would still take Baulko over uni, was definitely more fun

so if you're from a low ranking school, you're fucked in uni

 

[andrew12678]

so if you're from a low ranking school, you're fucked in uni

Indeed, the elitism is real if you attend unis like USYD or UNSW which are saturated with Private/Selective students as you may find yourself a bit isolated, but if you bring along most your friends you can form your own clique XD

 

[stopcrying]

so if you're from a low ranking school, you're fucked in uni

Honestly, i'm still to do my HSC and thus haven't gone to uni but i think you would be better off not assuming that. Life is what you make of it and that includes socializing and making friends. No one said it was going to be easy. Maybe you truly will face adversity when trying to 'crack into' these selective cliques. But, if you're confident, charismatic, and determined, it won't take long for people to start liking you in any social situation. Just gotta take initiative.

If i met a person, regardless of if they're from a selective/private school, and they were a cool person; id be cool with them (add them on facebook, etc etc)
But yeah... that's just my two cents, from a selective school student (lol).

 

[Green Yoda]

I really don't think school matters while making friends tbh unless you are one of those people who think going to a selective school makes them superior over others because in the end its all about who you vibe with and are most comfortable chilling with. From what I have heard from my mates, nobody really cares what school you go to in uni as its a whole new playing field. I am personally more excited to go to uni as I think it will be much easier for me to be social and find the right people to be friends with. I miss high school, it was a great time but I am ready and really excited to move on and experience uni.

 

[Queenroot]

Ur not fucked but it is harder esp in first year cos everybody keeps asking what school ur from and then when you tell them they have this condescending "what? Where is that?"

 

[Mathew587]

That's actually depressing.

A nice way to say 'nah you won't be accepted by the majority of kids in top uni so you'll have hang out with that one other kid from your school that made it in and make a clique of the dropkicks from western sydney'

i actually broke down yesterday. My life's been pretty shit so far and school's been terrible. I was looking forward to making friends in uni and meeting new people but I guess pretentiousness is universal.

probably bc the internal students u met arent like others in other fields (i.e. squareroot's experience)

Ofc, I've made a lot of friends at USYD this year (and have done a lot of networking too hehe)

have u made any outside of Usyd (not personal connections from hs or prior to uni)

>Baulko

im sure you can still make friends when u transfer during a new year/semester

You can do tech/well-being/producing/film/script writing + a bunch of other things that don't involve acting

but arent they limited to some societies i.e. there's med revue and then law revue (and a couple of other revues) but from memory there's no science revue

 

[Jaxxnuts]

so if you're from a low ranking school, you're fucked in uni

looks like it sadly

Indeed, the elitism is real if you attend unis like USYD or UNSW which are saturated with Private/Selective students as you may find yourself a bit isolated, but if you bring along most your friends you can form your own clique XD

um...do u reckon it would be easy from a student from a not so great high school to make friends with students who came from top performing high schools? tbh how would u know which students would be the 'leftovers/miscallaneous ones' so that you can make friends with them? (especially at events like balls/pub crawls)

Honestly, i'm still to do my HSC and thus haven't gone to uni but i think you would be better off not assuming that. Life is what you make of it and that includes socializing and making friends. No one said it was going to be easy. Maybe you truly will face adversity when trying to 'crack into' these selective cliques.

But yeah... that's just my two cents, from a selective school student (lol).

yeah but i think a majority of students from elite schools in syd would still hold that elitism and would refuse to hang out with the miscallaneous students. i reckon some students from those elite schools that are open minded would actually be willing to make friends with any student regardless of school/socioeconomic background/etc

Ur not fucked but it is harder esp in first year cos everybody keeps asking what school ur from and then when you tell them they have this condescending "what? Where is that?"

oh lmao what if u already have some connections with selective school students (when u dont go to a selective school) do u reckon it'd be easier to make friends with them (as opposed to those without connections to selective school students)

That's actually depressing.

My condolences are with you mate

May I wish all the bad memories of your not so great life be replaced with new forever lasting memories so then you'll never have to go through this hell again

Everyone's experiences are different though so it's okay!!!

Besides, not all private/selective school kids will be as 'elitist' or pretentious as the rest and will most likely be more welcoming

 

[KingOfActing]

tbh if people won't be friends with you because of your school you're better off without them, there's plenty of other cool people too meet and be friends with instead
