Lamborghini Urus all over college campuses

[Anonymous]

My kids are at two different T20 and talk about the multiple Lamborghini urus/Bentleys all over campus. Friends with kids at Yale, Princeton and Stanford also mention it - in disgust. Over the top showy wealth.

Look at r/yale today for a post.

All international /non-US born students own these cars (according to my DC, these kids tell their parents they need a car and then get a 250k budget for a car).

So how is this normal? Why don’t T50 admissions offices educate their wealthy non-US donors and tell them this is a sure fire way to stand out (in a bad way)?

Cars don’t have to cost 400k…

Do you have a question, boo?

It’s not the schools job to teach common sense at this age. They have to want to stand out. Even worse are the clothes with labels all over them. Not a simple logo but flashy clothes college students don’t wear and wouldn’t wear. It’s up to them but they probably don’t want to fit in with regular Americans.

These kids often have fabricated applications, in whole or in part. Everything is paid for. I’d be surprised if they sat for their own SATs.

Some expensive name brand cars can be pretty cheap on the used market. Because every repair costs $10-$20K.

Source: I lived in a condo/apartment neighborhood where young players going to/from MLB and NFL lived and I looked up the prices of the exotics parked on the street there.

Oh great, another xenophobic foreigner-bashing thread. Yes, OP, 100% of all foreign students are wealthy and have luxury cars! It doesn't matter that I happen to know that most do not, because I am a foreigner myself, and know lots of foreign kids at many American universities! My college kid doesn't even own a car!

And of course they lie on their apps! All foreigners do that!

For shame. Take your hate elsewhere.

Sorry not sorry.

That doesn’t mean you’re not xenophobic.

Agree, OP's post reads xenophobic

Weird there’s pretty much no place to park a Lambo at Yale….

Nouveau riche. Same look at my kid’s high school in NoVa — but not lambos. Many drive quite irresponsibly, a much bigger problem than looking tacky.
