High school was great, fun, a tight knit group of 1600 kids. Okay we weren't all one big family, but I loved knowing half the people I walked by down the hall. And even those I didn't know were, at least, familiar faces. I was in the same school district for my entire public education, so I could remember back when the cheerleaders, jocks, dancers, actors, and band geeks were all just 2nd grade kids. The fact that we'd all know eachother for over a decade made school a comfortable place.
This is not the case at BYU. Walking from class to class I pass nameless face after nameless face. Lecture classes are the same way. I won't even know the name of every kid in my own class, let alone in the school. Back home my school choir was practically my 60 best friends; now I'm in a choir of 200 complete strangers. I know I'll get to know people and I'm already starting to do that, but it won't ever be the same, that closeness and unity that comes in a small group of old friends.
