All the friends I hang out with at home away from university I went to high school with and my usual circle of friends here is about 7 or 8. There are quite a few others that I keep in touch with and some more that I've made outside of high school (through work, at college, etc). We don't tend to keep up to date much with each other during term time as most of them who are at uni are at the same one apart from me. Though we do spend a lot of time together outside of term time and they are the reason I most look forward to end of term. In fact, of the group I'm the only one who went to a university without someone else from the group going to the same one.
