I'm currently on masters, college is the best time trust me, i haven't heard a single comment or joke. Most people will realise when youre young adult u shoud behave as one and most people don't want to be branded as as.holes in new environment especially if it's not in their hometown. If there are some u can simply avoid them idk how big is the college u want to apply to, but u won't be seeing same people all the time.
