Chit-Chat: In which we welcome back Shining Raichu from his extended vacation

Edit:
Woah, hadn't realized how long this place has been dead. Topic change, I guess?

So. What has everyone been up to?
Help me I can't think of a decent topic.

You want help with a conversation? No problem. Watch this, and tell me how awesome (and site-relevant!) this is.

American schools are huuge o.O

My school had about 500 people when I was there, and it encompassed Year 0 to 13, lmao. Tiiiny school, my entire year only had 48 people. But to be honest, I loved it that way. Even though I hated most of those people, it was great for class schedules and what not.

During my last year at high school, the one I was attending had a little over 100 students and is apparently still growing. My school wasn't all that big because it was built on part of an old house and it was for students with special needs, including autism (which is the condition I suffer from).

woooooow
100 students
I couldn't handle it being that small, lol. I need to be able to get away from people and sometimes engage with people who don't really know who I am, as opposed to constantly in a place where, as the Cheers tune goes, everybody knows your name~

My high school was I guess, average sized for an American high school. We had about 100 students in my senior class and about 450-500 students total, maybe more.

My first high school, the one I went freshmen year before having to transfer, had about 200 students in it I think. My freshmen class had like 40 students in it. Also one of four grades schools I went to only had 60 students and the lack of students was why they closed.

The school I went to had 1200 students. 300 a grade level. Maybe it depends on the state/province you're in.

My school has a whooping 1200 students, and its only spreaded across 4 levels. With 8~10 classes per level and 40 students per class.

...my school has about 3500 to 4000, if not more. I think. Probably should fact check that.

Holy crap o.o Mine only has 2000-3000 students.

I'm here.

I swear I can't keep my days straight this week. I thought it was Saturday yesterday. ?_? Though it was cool to wake up like 45 minutes ago and realize that it's actually Wednesday already.

How've you guys been?

Just finished 1 of 5 final exams about a half hour ago. Thank GOD I am no longer waking up at 5 am for school anymore. I have my next exam in an hour.

As for high school, since I went to two different high schools...my first one was around 2,000-3,000 (large city) and my second high school was smaller, around 500-1,000 at least.

Hello, DCC. just dropping in here for a while before I head off to bed. I've been alright so far, thanks for asking, Slender c:

I don't even know how many students my uni has. It isn't a big uni, so there shouldn't be too many. I think it should be about 3000? That's small compared to my previous uni - way, way smaller.

Oh, Uni is a whole another level completely. I think mine has 30,000 undergrads.

My current college has about 5,000, compared to the one I graduated last year, it had about 900. But the bad thing about the college I'm in right now is that there's not enough classes to meet that total number of students.

My college had like over 10,000 people, but it didn't seem that way because it was all spread out and surrounded by nature and you could actually get away from people if you wanted to. It was really nice. You could just walk off into the hills and trees.

I went to visit the college I'm going to the other day, and damn, does it look packed. Don't know how many people there are for certain, though, probably should look that up again.

According to Wikipedia about my ol' College...

Sheridan College Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning is a diploma and degree granting polytechnic institute in Canada, with approximately 17,000 full-time students and 35,000 continuing education students.

Sure didn't feel that way! Our program was so sectioned off!

My college had about 1,400 students, so it was really small in comparison to most other schools. It was awesome though - you got to know your professors as well as your classmates, even to the point where some of the professors would have the whole class over to their house for dinner or a cookout. I think the biggest class I had was 30ish and the smallest was 3.
