You don't get out much, I guess?[/quote]

Nah, if you get out of the DC bubble and New England, a lot of people aren't familiar with the tiny LACs because they're not a thing in most of the rest of the country -- most people are shooting for the flagship state school and are only familiar with the Ivies, the 7 sisters schools, and Stanford as the "elites".  I had no idea I was supposed to be impressed by Middlebury before I moved to DC (the liberal arts colleges in my state were for people who couldn't make it into the state schools), and, even after being here for 20 years, I still haven't learned what all the "elite" LACs are.  Don't need to, unlikely to send my kid to one absent some amazing financial aid and some specific program we can't fine elsewhere.

Also, Ursinus.  Are you going to wear that around on a t-shirt?[/quote]

Your provincialism is showing.[/quote]

A bit of a change of pace from the DCUM elitism, eh?  No mention of HHI, how much my house cost, or lamenting the fate of Whole Foods now that Amazon might make it less expensive and let the poors in.  I'm happy to drink my Two-Buck Chuck, hang up my public university degrees, and chuckle at the people getting ready to pay full-price out-of-state and private tuition for some school 3/4 of the country wouldn't recognize or be impressed by.

But, really, you don't find the name Ursinus remotely funny?[/quote]
