Better him than Loco, you' d get cut to death in line... and he' d get away with it too.
Being around so many people had it' s advantages. I don' t have an aversion to large crowds whatsoever, and have no problem navigating my way around or through crowds, or up large lines (If I chose to eat the hellish slop they serve, it' s a 10-15 minute wait in line at the very least, so being able to sneak in & out as needed has it' s advantages.)
There isn' t really that sense of community you' re talking about... at all. I know various people in the halls by either their first or last name, all very vaguely (IE, I lift weights with them or something like that), but the majority of my lifelong friends don' t even attend my school, so it' s not that big of an issue for me.
