Emory- not big money or old money but a huge concentration of students whose parents are well-to-do immigrants.

Emory is heavily Asian, right?

The OP is asking a good question. My kid is a college freshman at an ivy. And I am somewhat shocked by the wealth and spending on campus. After speaking with friends, it seems that most/many colleges today have stratified social scenes that are separated by wealth. Despite hearing that the vast majority of kids get some financial aid, the social kids tend to be the kids with money. And these kids take ubers, dine out daily at nice restaurants, etc. The school is in am urban location, so perhaps there are more places to go/spend? Just want to give other parents a heads up. We heard about umiami expensive clubbing but the reality at my kids school was a surprise.

It’s now free for North Carolina residents under a certain income level.

Honestly this is all relatively well known private colleges that don’t give a lot of merit. Genuinely middle class kids go for merit or go to public.

Same, but my kid is at a rural Ivy. The number of Canada Goose and Moncler coats is insane. Greek Week is in the Caribbean, and 30% of the school participates in Greek life. I know there are many scholarship kids on campus, but none of my kid’s friends work or have issues with money.
