[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Richmond is even preppier and more greek than Wake, but smaller.

Contrary to what you read on DCUM, Richmond and Wake are very popular these days, with both receiving a record amount of applications this year.  Turns out there are a lot of kids that like the combination of small classes with professors that care about teaching, meticulously maintained campuses, great post graduate outcomes and a fun D1 sports scene.

However, if your kid is small-minded enough to think all full pay kids are lazy, perhaps besides questioning your parenting skills, you should send them to UC-Merced or VCU so she doesn't have to deal with the affluent.[/quote]

Wow. You have some angst issues.

I wrote the fratty comment. I'm an UMC white person whose kids will easily be full pay who was in a greek organization at a top tier school and works on Wall Street. I think USN&WR is trash. Probably not the mental image you had of me, huh?

I was told that Wake was what Duke was for our generation (because Duke has gotten a lot more intense). Work hard, play hard, but super smart kids. I was underwhelmed by most of the kids I met there and it was more pre-professional than intellectual. Which I know is generally par for the course these days but it was more than I expected. It is a very good school. Don't get me wrong. I did like the size, campus was beautiful, professors seem truly engaged. But a more serious kid will not be happy there. Which is fine. Different strokes for different folks.[/quote]
