This. Transferring can be really lonely.

Lonelier to be a graduate of a university with a triple digit rank.

What is it with you people that focus on rank for everything in your life.

It's true. Good luck socially graduating from a place lower (not necessarily in ranking but in reputation, test scores, etc.) than George Washington.

What a sad and also snobby way to live your life.

VCA Arts is ranked 4th for best art schools so your story seems fake.

Brutal but understandable on the classmates' part. Kids can be so cutthroat.

Understandable that the kids cut a friend off because they didn’t think VCU was a good school? Are you kidding? WTF is wrong with people.

So if I graduated GW do I make the cut in your eyes?

Calm down. They'll probably be fine now that the kid transferred.

Stayed at safety, loved it, said he'd do it all over again. Had a really, really good time. Currently employed in a big accounting firm.

Hoping kids this obnoxious dont really exist and if they do, I would advise not accepting an offer of re-entry into the "group". When people show you who they are, believe them.

I've seen this happen many times. The parents get cut off by other parents too. Nothing explicit, they just don't reach out to them anymore.

As someone who went to a top ten school (as did my spouse) I honestly could not tell you off the top of my head where many of my friends went to college and I definitely do not care.

Maybe you wouldn't care if it was Boston University or Tulane. UMBC grads are getting judged.

Those sound like terrible “friends.” I can’t imagine people behaving like this in real life.
