C'mon. Its not for him. Genuinely, not for him.

All of his friends and current gf are progressive hipsters. He's the clean cut right-leaning prep. He loves Brown.

Maybe he's a closet liberal but doesn't want to disappoint mom and dad.

Too many made up threads to elicit responses though I applaud some of the creativity.

Yeah, that one was a head scratcher. She's extremely liberal - had an internship on the Clinton campaign and an Organizing for Action fellowship. That's not really concerning at all.

Well, OP, you were the one who seemed worried about her fitting in as if being from Wisconsin would make her so different from East coast prep school types . . . kind of fueled that speculation. If you'd said "she's very liberal, etc., that's not an issue . . ." to acknowledge you knew Brown's rep, we'd have a very different thread here.

I nor his father could not care less about politics.

Sorry, I should have clarified that my issue wasn't so much the liberal aspect of Brown, more so being around kids from boarding schools and elite prep schools and who travel to Europe every summer and have gone to $10K summer camps every summer. she does have some wealthy kids at her current school but overall I'd say our area is more of a "teacher and cop" type area.

15-20,000 summer camps. But if she's interested in many things and is happy to engage with peers, there are many opportunities at Brown. And lots of free furniture at the and of every semester left out for the taking
