[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you got to college, did you find your "new" college friends who took public school route intellectually inferior? Private vs public is one of the hot topics here, often times, it gets nasty. You are in an unique position to assess that. Do you have any thoughts on private vs public debate? [/quote]

No. Obviously some people in college were intellectually inferior, because that's just how life works. Maybe it's because I surrounded myself with fairly studious people, but my friends from college (who are still my best friends) are insanely smart. My small group of friends is make up of a surgeon, a person who runs a department of a major retail store, and a couple people who are very successful in finance. My college boyfriend was an auditor for a major company right out of school and now is a financial strategist, I think. They all went to public schools from all over the country.

I think people surround themselves with people like them. If you're a serious student, you surround yourself with other serious students. Don't get me wrong, I partied more than enough in college, but I surrounded myself with people like me who worked hard and played hard. [/quote]
