Because seriously, college kids just aren't that great. Without the alcohol, they're not pleasant at all. I mean I would rather hang out with my family any day.

I agree, they all seem so tearfully ordinary and uninteresting. I miss home in ways, but not completly.
The more I think about what school was like the more confused I get. I think people just generally formed groups fairly independent of interests, certainly in lower school. You were either accepted or not by the masses. When we got to about 15 it changed a bit and you'd have obvious groups of stoners and skaters. But other than that I don't think people seperated themselves much. There was nothing stopping people intermingling, and no politics to it. Oh, and the only people who cared about sports were those who played it. What about the stereotype of the reverence of the football team as a symbol of school mini-nationalism?
It sucked a bit really, as far as I know there weren't many arty/music types in my school, and its the biggest in Wales, seemed really undiverse.
