When going to college are upper classmen mean to lower classmen?

In general, no. There's a general equality among students once you're in college. That's not to say people won't pull stupid pranks on you -- they might. But the code allows you to get them back, as long as it's legal.\n\nThe one thing upper classmen might pressure you on is drinking. Know your limits, and don't drink too much. People do incredibly stupid things when they are drunk. I was a bartender - believe me.

Nap all day and party all night.  When they do go to class, they go in pajamas, hoodies and flipflops.  They cram for everything, and of course there is the infamous "freshman 15"!  I think I gained more like 20... but that's neither here nor there!\nThere's a lot of clubbing, and some drinking, hangovers, nights spent in the library until the early morning, etc...\nI guess those are not really stereotypes though since they really happen.  Unless you say that every single college student behaves in these manners.  That's not true.  After my first semester away from home, I was a model student!  There are some young adults who go away from school and behave responsebly.  They are few, however.\n\nThere is a famous saying that most colleges do during freshman orientations.\n"Look at the person to the right of you.  Now look to the person to the left of you.  By the end of your first semester, one of those people won't be here."\nIt's sad but it's true.\nAah, college.  Memories, memories...

Voluntary.  Not everyone is cut out for the college/university academics and lifestyle.  People have the right to decide what is personally best for their future.

There's not as much of the everyone knows each other and gossips on each other in college.  You either see people pass by all the time and not befriend them, or become friends with them.  Less drama.\n\nYou're treated more like adults.  If you skip class, you lose money on the class you paid not, not get detention.  Your own loss.  You set up your schedule however you want.  If you're a morning person, you can try to pick the earlier classes, vice versa.  The college environment is unique, people are always around, always an opportunity to meet someone from morning to night.  If you're living on campus, you get the independence away from home feeling that you don't get at high school.

No. If you're status is popular at school and you're big, by picking on the lower status people makes you very low and no one ends up liking you. At my school, the same status people fight amongst each other. You see, the geeks fight the geeks. The Wogs fight the Wogs and the Aussies fight Aussies. I am a lover not a fighter and i try to be diplomatic in most cases but if a fight comes my way, i can only try my best :P

Simple:  the guys are intimidated by you.  Point blank.  I had the same problem in high school...you will find better opportunities when you get out of high school and into college!!  Just keep doing you and achieving all you can achieve...they will come to you in the end!!!  I know because it happened to me!!!

It was a little scary at first, but I got into the swing of things pretty quickly. Your campus will probably have plenty of organizations to join, and that's a good way to meet people. You'll meet upperclassmen who can show you the ropes, and you'll meet other freshmen who'll probably be just as confused as you are. If you don't know something, don't be afraid to ask. Get to know your professors. It's a very fun and exciting time in your life. Enjoy it.

never heard of a college of kicking out a hard-studying student who has a way of paying tuition.\n\nJob prospects depend on the field. I'd say things like economics and business are probably a better bet than English or Philosophy

well most good guys are the ones you dont notice in class or work. people are usually drawn to the louder of the group because well, there louder. alot of the "good guys" hang out in smaller groups and have some close friends rather then alot of friends they dont know much about. just keep your eyes open

In college, the professors treat you as more mature.  That means that they don't care as much if you do things like eat in class or chew gum.  In some classes they don't even take roll; they trust you to make your own decisions about how you will come to class.  However, many classes involve more reading and the professors will expect you to remember everything you cover in class.  This means that you have to study more.  I think college is fun because you get more choice over your course schedule and you study the major that you choose.  If you choose a major you like, you are studying something you like all the time!

No.  College is about education so you have to attend classes and get a certain grade point average to be on a college football or track team.

I am a current member in a fraternity at my college. I never thought I was "buying" friends! If anything I was brought closer to my current friends. My college does not allow freshman to join a fraternity and this is a great way to allow you to express yourself at college freshman year. As a freshman at my college I got very involved with many different clubs.\n\nI join to meet new people and make new friends. Before the fraternity I was involved with 3 major clubs on my college campus and one I help start from scratch, so my reason was that i didn't have any friends, I wanted more. Also the opprotunities of brotherhood and business connections. I would be lying if the social scene didn't cross my mind as well. Academics were a big part alot of my borthers are economic majors like myself and I can ask them for help when ever. Finally I love the community service, I am my fraternities community service chair.\n\nI don't see myself not being in a fraternity currently. My borthers were my best friends before pledging and are even stonger now. I didn't see any hazing, my fraternity has strict rules against it. As for "black-balling"(not giving a potential rushee a bid) I have yet to see that take place my fraternity only rushes in the fall, when I rushed! There is some talks of people black balling some in the fall with the upcoming rush. I know the kids that people don't like and for the most part they aren't like the rest of our brothers(womanizers, drug problems, etc.) When thinking about a possible brother you need to think of the worst and what could happen if a problem like that was brought into the house. My brothers do not want our house to go on probation due to someone doing something stupid.\n\nI picked this house simply cause the great community serivice I heard of. Also I met some of the brothers my freshman year. Also my friends from freshman year all liked this fraternity so that is why we decided to rush this one.

Not necessarily.  It will, in most cases, entitle you to an invitation but in no case will it give you special treatment as far as the "intitation rites" are concerned.  They will still give you a hard time but of course, they won't let you know that they will be very careful not to hurt or harm you out of respect for their senior fraternity brother.  Outwardly though, no special treatment and you will have to earn your way into the frat just like everyone else.
