[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a wealthy part of Connecticut and I had never heard of it. I'd only heard of UConn and Connecticut College in terms of local places.[/quote]

There's no way this is true.[/quote]

Locals always do this. [i] I'm from there I don't know it, I'm from there no one would consider going there...[/i]  I think it tends to be true, too close and it's so common place that it doesn't get mentioned and some people really never hear of it, and certainly don't consider going.  My BIL lived right out side the wall, and I didn't know it was there for many years, then assumed it was a private high school or something.  Regional schools don't tend to draw from the most close in area.[/quote]

Totally understandable, since students who want to go to private colleges often want to go "away". Still, to live in Connecticut and claim you haven't heard of Fairfield means you're dumb or lying. At minimum, everyone gets inundated with mailings throughout intermediate/middle school for summer camps there (like ID Tech.) People know the Quick Center for the Arts -- if your kid took music lessons in CT, at some point you were probably invited to play a concert there, or your piano competition took place on campus. If you grew up in CT, you would know Fairfield Prep, which shares a campus. To pretend that the wealthy part of CT wouldn't be aware of Fairfield is one of the most pretentious things I've ever read on this board.[/quote]
