im not sure if i can recommend university but it definitely gave me a life.
i go to a very social university and honestly making friends has been easier than i thought simply due to orientation week. if you go to uni: participate in orientation week because everyone is also desperate to make friends. one thing i can thank my parents for is forcing me to at least go for the campus tours and free food.
there is definitely still a social hierarchy do not let any copers who were inkwells in high school tell you anything different. chads are very much around with stacys/toilets drooling after them. as i said, i go to a social school aka a fucking party school so frats and sororities are very real and very brutal. i have never seen so many white women and men in one space in my lifetime.
however, i will say parties are more accessible here than usual. in high school i didnt even know they existed, but most times here, you can find them if youre active on social media. my friend showed me some big party for halloween weekend (or halloweekend(even the slang has gotten to me)), and all he had to do was open snapchat. but honestly, we both disliked the idea of hanging around drunk degenerates for hours, so we stayed in his dorm (pro-tip: get a friend with a dorm its super nice to just be away from home and chill for hours)
huge downside is the academic stress and overall loneliness. im not genetically fucked so my IQ should be at least average, but it is nothing like highschool. you feel fucking stupid here and probably because you are. theres always someone better than you. admission average was apparently 90% but that seems to be a fucking lie bc everyone i met during orientation week seemed to be some supernormgroid with a 97% and a small tech startup on the side. school work is fucking hard and there are always assignments so im always busy. sometimes i feel like i should have gone to college instead because i heard its easier. but my fucking parents wanted to set me up for failure by sending me to this shithole so i will have to endure it for the next 4 years.
it is also very easy to be lonely if you are not social -- hell even if you are social. this place permeates with the familiar feeling of constantly being out of place with the wider public. thankfully, even though i am very introverted, i at least have basic skills to try and have a conversation as awkward as it is. i have been able to meet 2 people who are the first people i'd consider "friends" in a long time. honestly, they start and continue the conversations for me talking is easy. they came to uni together so i basically just integrated into their duo. i do sometimes still feel a bit excluded, especially because at heart they are somewhat bluepilled, but they at least have similar interests as me (manga, anime, video games). neither are completely blackpilled, but sometimes they say blackpilled stuff that are like small truthnukes in the ocean of blue.
overall, university is like a 5/10. im not sure if its worth the academic stress/ financial cost/ even more feelings of inferiority coupled with the fact that if you dont talk to anyone during orientation week, you are basically done for socially. i just got very lucky to be able to rate it this highly. hope you are all doing well brocels.
