Now that I think about it more, I think I've talked to maybe 3 people from my High School since I left for college, and those were brief online conversations.

I think what happened was that I lost a lot of respect for them when nobody was open minded enough to go to school away from home. (Orig. from CT, only one other student in my Grad. class moved further away than I did to Georgia Tech, but he's going back to CT because he's flunking out.) It's not even an issue of money, because most who did stay did NOT go to a state school, but rather one of the few private schools, most of which are about 15 minutes away from home if that with insane tuition rates (above 30k a year for tuition alone). But rather than just admitting that they just wanted to stay close to home, they made up BS excuses about "oh, well, uh, this school is really well known for its ______" when it really isn't by any means.
