[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A school in pretty much the middle of nowhere like Midd at least during term-time is really good at getting rid of socioeconomic distinctions, because there really isn't much opportunity for spending money. Where economic class really seems to make a difference socially is somewhere like Penn, Columbia, BU or GW, where a lot of the social life revolves around going out to clubs or restaurants. At Midd the parties/events are on campus and cheap, and even going up to Burlington is not anything like a big city in terms of costs for going to hear live music or even to a nice restaurant. Yes, vacations may segregate  by family income, but not much else, and semester abroad programs are supported financially by the school so that anyone can go

I agree. I went to Wesleyan. We all had to be on the same meal plan, and there was not much to spend money on rather than three dollars for a campus play. Money did not drive socialization. But it seemed like at the city schools, people spent money to go out, lots of beer, fake ids, dinners out, etc.[/quote]
