| How do these four schools differ? What are their unique personas, or all they mainly very similar? |
| They’re all overpriced |
| And make dullards envious. |
How is that possible when no one has ever heard of these schools? |
LOL |
Very similar. Visiting is a good idea. Colby is the most isolated. 75 minutes to Portland. |
Lots of people have heard of these schools. It’s a social indicator that you haven’t. |
This. Anyone who hasn’t heard of these schools is from flyover country. Or likely not college-educated, if they live on the East Coast. |
Lol keep telling yourself that. Enjoy paying off that 280k as a Starbucks barista. |
The reality is people including the educated only know about research institutions. The only people who know about slacs is the people who went to slacs which is minuscule in comparison to the people going to normal universities. |
| I, too, would love to understand differences among these colleges. In our experience, it is hard to get a true vibe from a tour - usually the tour guide heavily influences your impressions which can be very misleading. |
Um, no. People who went to top ten universities like Yale and Princeton have definitely heard of places like Middlebury. Perhaps not people who went to lower ranked state schools, but people from elite backgrounds have definitely heard of these small colleges. If you have not hear of them, that shows that you are not from an elite background. I’m not saying that’s bad, I’m just saying, people who go to top private schools and top universities on the east coast have all heard of these places. |
Ok that’s your opinion I guess. Actually you’re right people really care that someone has a degree from “bates” lol |

All great. All prestigious. All extremely well known to top employers and graduate schools. All hard to get into and hard to excel at.
If you don't know these things, the fault is with you. These are facts. |
You guys really do live in a bubble |
