[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many students and parents seem to be chasing trends and the affirmation of others' opinions (veneer of prestige, silly categorizations like "Ivy Plus" or "little ivy" or "T20", arguing about how to create categories within categories: like breaking down small LACS into wasp or +B). Enough. This is too much. College isn't a fashion object or handbag du jour, it's a retreat of learning, period. The professors and their teaching style "rate my prof", course calendars, curriculum core, etc. should be scrutinized instead. People are focused on impressing each other not on growing. [/quote] [b]This is what happens when families from Ohio who bought a Louis Vuitton bag when dad made partner at a no-name law firm move to the DC area. [/b]Worth based on perception and exclusivity––heads up, Linda, nobody cares about the Hermés pillow on your sofa you went into the negatives to buy. Motto for 2026; I don't want to hear a peep from you CUA graduates when you blabber about how to make a new subset of the T20 schools.[/quote] Heads up, Karen, nobody from Ohio cares about what people inside the beltway think of their college choices. [/quote] My comment seems to have found Usha/JD Vance! A: I’m referencing Ohioans who move to DC and worsen the traffic after being used to rural backroads. So, technically they are Ohioans by nature, but DMV residents by geography. Comprendo? B: It’s madam to you, not Karen.[/quote]
