Is it normal to have less friends when you leave school and college

Is it normal to have less friends when you leave school and college?
I am in my second year of college in the UK, and at school i had a huge group of friends. Since starting work and college i hardly see my old mates apart from about 2 or 3. Im used to seeing so many people, but now everybody is falling out and i dont know where il ever meet a group like that again. Has any1 else had this problem? It has really got me down because i am worried.

huh? what are you so depressed about? your other friends are probably also busy like you are, they have their own lives to contend with. When I started work, I was so used to seeing much of my circle of friends in college, that it took a few months to feel normal. You can still talk to your friends through the phone or sms each other. They don't have to be with you every weekend, they do have plans you know. And they need not drop whatever they are doing just to be with you when you have free time. Chill out. How about planning a get together or a weekend party? Plan it at least 2 or 3 weeks before the date. That way, they can clear their schedules ahead of time. At least most of your friends might be able to attend. Catch up on each others lives. :P

should i shave my legs I'm a bisexual, and at a public school in the uk

should i shave my legs I'm a bisexual, and at a public school in the uk?
I'm 16 and a guy. i'm bisexual and am a little twinkish,in shape (thin, not very muscly), i find body hair kinda sick and i like the look of shaved legs on guys and girls, should i shave my legs? my last girlfriend says she liked that i am effeminate and i sometimes worry that the only reason i don't pursue what i want to look like is because i'll be bullied? its an English public school, so there is a lot of prejudice against anyone who is different already.

no i don' think so but if you want to attract men yes (if ur gay yes)
4 :
If it makes you uncomfortable, then go right ahead. shave your damn legs ;)
5 :
I suppose it depends how much you expect to be bullied and how often your legs are on show. If you don't mind people knowing you're bi, then shave your legs and be prepared for the questions. However if you go to a nice school where the students are supportive and accepting, you've nothing to worry about! Don't worry in two years time (if you're going to sixth form or college) you won't have to worry about things like this, you can just shave your legs and be done with it! And don't forget under your arms!

Do private schools in the UK have to stick to the same curriculum and policies as state schools

Do private schools in the UK have to stick to the same curriculum and policies as state schools?
Such as what subjects you teach, what material you teach for those subjects, sex education policies and methods for dealing with bullying? Edit: So, nobody has any answers then?

Find out which colleges you want to attend in the UK and remember that applying for college there is different than doing so here. Most colleges do want to clear up the financial arrangements before you attend. After you decide which colleges in the UK you want to attend then ask them what their policy is regarding fees and visas. If you have questions, then contact your local British consulate or the embassy in Washington.

You have to show you have been accepted into college. No college is going to help you get a visa, by paying the fees that shows you are finiancial commited to doing the course, How do they know you will get the visa and then not attend? Pay the fees if you have a place at college. Why can you not go to your own countries college.

If you are in the last year of school in the US then I take it you are 17/18 years old? In UK we finish high school at age 16 so at 17 or 18 you will either be in college or a sixth form school. In UK college is not the same as university. You must have a college education to get into university. most college courses are 1 or 2 years so you can start uni at 18. I'm not sure if I'm helping but as I don't understand the US Grade system I can't be of anymore help.

Ok here in the UK, School works like this: You start school in The september when your 4. Its called Reception Reception - Year 6 is called Primary School Then u 'graduate to high school . U start high school in the september when your 11 Thats called Year 7 U leave high school in the June when your 16, or 15 if your 16 before September the 1st. So it depends how old you are and when your bithday is If you were born before 1st September 1990 then u have finished school! most british kids go to college which is year 12 & 13, ages 16-18, tahts free, but you dont have to go if you dont want to. :)

put the first 2 answers together and it's everything you need to know. my daughter was going to do exactly the same as you but changed her mind when she found out kids in uk colleges were there by choice and not requirement. she's under the false assumption that they are far more mature, intelligent and educated than she is. it's just a different system and both the uk and us systems are very good.

A 3.6 is on the low end of what might be considered a first class (so class I in your list) degree. The undergraduate admissions page for UCL (a good london based UK university) gives a rough correlation between GPA and equivalent UK classification. http://www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-students/graduate-study/application-admission/general-entrance-requirement
