So I told my parents I want to go to a school with a community that I love.

One hundred percent shot down--

School isn't for making friends or being part of a community. School is for studying your butt off. You make friends if you have the time, but its not about having fun or socializing. Good luck finding a school that has a community. School isn't a replacement for church. You wont find what you're looking for. Its just four years. It doesn't matter where you go to college, its all the same.

Why is all the advice I get from older people about college so fucking discouraging? It honestly feels worse that when my guidance counselor told me that if i wanted to do environmental science, then i better find a school near a lot of trees because boston wont have enough for me to hug.

Fuck everyone. I really want to go to a small school with a welcoming community. Fuck thirteen thousand undergrads. UVM is nice but its fucking lonely as hell.
