A part of me wants to get Dreadlocks before i go to University next year

But i'm a 6' 3" white male and i'm sure i'd get ridiculed

Everyone gets ridiculed at least once in their life.  Don't worry about what others say it makes life easier, atleast for me it does.  People make fun of others to make themselves look bigger and to help them feel good about themselves.  If you want them I say get them.  Plus maybe you'll find you a hot hippie chick with dreads !!!
