I doubt that. High school is generally a closed system that empowers bullies, since the victims are trapped and really can't get away, and the bullies feel secure. College is usually so much bigger, and you have so many options to make it yours, that it takes away the bullies' power. That's not to say that bullying doesn't exist, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. And while prodigies in high school are often treated as freaks, a lot of people at the university level respect them. And if they don't? Screw 'em.

I've been through college twice and will probably do it again. You couldn't get me back into high school for anything, except maybe to go back and tell some of my high school teachers they were completely full of crap.
