Stupid question but need advice.

I’m going to be applying to colleges soon and I’m thinking about EDing to a school I have a pretty good shot at, would enjoy going to, and that has a good recruiting base. There’s just one problem that seems really dumb but hear me out. I have a friend who is also thinking about EDing there, and I emotionally cannot take another 4 years with this person. I feel trapped and scared of them and I feel scared that I will have to continue to tolerate this. Luckily, we will be applying in different majors, but I am really trying to get away from her. The school I will be EDing to has a few thousand people per grade. In college, is it difficult to cross paths with people without intentionally doing so?

Apply ED to the school.

Chances are you will not see them more than once per year and that one brief, albeit uncomfortable interaction, will be worth going to a school you otherwise love. I have friends in other majors and despite actually trying to see them, we only see each other every few weeks.
