[quote=Anonymous]Duke culture is definitely not down to earth. Lots of big money and lots of private/prep/boarding school kids. These wealthy kids are super social amd greek. Plenty of other smart kids that do their own thing but it is separate. Vandy has a similar reputation. I agree with PP comments. We looked at hopkins. They got rid of legacy admission a while ago so thought it would be more integrated, but social scene is separated and small and primarily driven by athletes who do greek... many of whom are wealthy private school kids. Otherwise, seemed super nerdy. Boys we know at uchicago are happy - they are greek and finance oriented. Northwestern has a strong arts program, so those kids are different but form their own cliques. Hard to find down to earth culture these days. Given the high cost of college, many colleges are a  barbell of wealthy and FA kids. State schools will have more social options, given the size of student body, but those schools also have separate wealthy social scenes from both in state and oos connected kids. I also want to add that all these kids (both wealthy and cost conscious) are driven, smart, hard working. [/quote]
