hey man i appreciate the input. Im a highschooler as well, I would just be going early. Although I've never been to one, my two friends that go there claim there are a lot of literally unsupervised but on campus parties just with bard kids and that you can smoke and they wont give a shit. (Not that im going to college to smoke and party, but I plan on making that a part of it :P)
anyways, I didnt know butternut was near it but that definetely helps my decision so thanks a ton bud
