"I don’t really keep in touch with my high school friends. I tried to keep in touch with some of them, but if they don’t respond (and most of them didn’t), I didn’t [anymore]"

"I feel it is really important to keep contact with your old friends. Because those are some friends which you make once in your life and they are going to be your lifetime friends. So yes, maintaining contact is pretty important and usually two or three times a week I place a call, a group call with my high school friends where we chat for hours. It feels good, because life in KAIST is very difficult as academic pressure is really high, so spending time with your friends makes you feel better."

- H M Quamran Hasan, Freshman
