And so the potential of meeting people is always there
- 00:25
it's a big time school spirit if you want to
- 00:27
be having students every single day with those school colors
- 00:30
on the sweatshirts the window stickers on a big level
- 00:34
and you go to the basketball game and you can't
- 00:36
even hear when it's done because the area is so
- 00:38
packed That's not a big thing university is also have
- 00:42
a lot of name recognition around the country who hasn't
- 00:45
heard of the university of michigan or the university of
- 00:47
california citing name recognition even outside the state carries really
- 00:51
far So what would you say were the three biggest
- 00:54
icons of a university I'd say three big things that
- 00:58
probably some students don't like about the universities are that
- 01:01
they can be a little impersonal and if you need
- 01:03
to change a class or talk with an advisor sometimes
- 01:06
you're waiting in a long line or you get to
- 01:08
that office and find that there are a lot of
- 01:10

the perceived advantage of walking around the college and seeing
- 01:18
hundreds of new people can also be a down side
- 01:21
because you're walking around and thinking i just want to
- 01:22
see one person i actually know And if you're not
- 01:25
maybe really outgoing kind of person you're going to feel
- 01:28
its pretty impersonal i'd say Also sometimes it's Not a
- 01:31
great thing If you find out that you can't live
- 01:33
on campus for more than one year and all of
- 01:35
a sudden you're closest housing is a couple of miles
- 01:37
away And he started having to think about parking issues
- 01:40
and time getting back and forth You'll have more opportunities
- 01:49
to meet new people Universities are known for their school 00:01:53.743 --> [endTime] spirit Universities tend to have more name recognition Far
