: : How did all you 4's deal with highschool and more importantly college? Highschool is incrediblay difficult to deal with socialy more so for 4's than most people i whould suppose. Considering a main part of highschool is in fact social and trying to feel connected to and feel like you belong with everyone else. any tips for college?
: : Also has it happened to any of you ever? you get along great with some one...and after a little while they just don't like you anymore or the don't know you excist anymore.
: If I could just make one small suggestion for college: go to a small school. This obviously depends on what you plan to study (if you know...) and where you can go, but I went to big schools and really disliked them. A small school is so much more personal, and allows you to really get to know people; big schools have no choice but to treat you like a number, so you can feel very disconnected and alone. The proverbial "small liberal arts college" seems to me to be the best environment for a 4; I only wish I'd known that before I went to a large school for engineering. All of you have a huge advantage just knowing that you're 4's. And one final thing--cost does not equal quality--of life or of education. I went to an expensive private school as an undergraduate, and a state school for my masters; I got a better education from the state school.
