By Melissa Reecher Echo Opinions Editor I think homecoming is dumb. I have never been to a homecoming game or event since I started going to school here in '96, so my opinion may be out of inexperience, but hear me out. I don't understand why homecoming has a place in a college environment.
Homecoming really seems like it's a high school thing.
It makes sense, because the point of homecoming is to make things at school a little more fun. In high school, you didn't have a choice, you were stuck going to school whether you liked it or not. Even if you hated the school you attended, there was nothing you could do about it. Most high school kids probably can't convince their parents to move because they don't like their school. And even less possible to get them to fork over some money for a private school, which isn't much different than high school, anyway.
