[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to SMU!

Actually, you'd be surprised. I went to a private prep school $30,000 a year, here in DC.  And I can tell you that I saw way more wealth at SMU.  And by wealth, I mean anywhere from millions to tens of millions to hundreds to billions.

I mean, I couldnt even count on three hand the number of kids I knew with private jets. It was so common.

Our RA's had to order us that no one was allowed to leave their entire wardrobe behind at the end of the year, as apparently it was somewhat regular for girls to do this and buy all new clothes for the next season.  (Crazy, right?)

Girls used birkin bags to carry their books around.

As for cars- you name it, someone had it.  Lambos, maseratis, ferraris, and of course your standard range rovers, bmws, mercedes.

I remember two girls got passes from school my freshman year so they could attend Paris fashion week and all the major shows.  They posted pics of them on their jet, school books laid out.

Yachts were not uncommon, as was attending yacht week.

I knew a girl who flew my friend out to Coachella- she decided last minute, rented a jet (She didnt own her own- how gauche, right?) and bought everyone tickets.

So yeah. Now this was not every student, this was the upper echelon.

Which meant that the midline was still multiple designer bags, a really nice car, and European vacations.

Also, Dorothy Wang was in my year (though she transferred out).  So that should give you some perspective of what was happening. [/quote]

Dorothy Wang- the chick from Rich kids of Beverly Hills? What was she like?[/quote]

Yep.  Exactly like she is on the show.  Can be fun but generally was rather annoying and very ostentatious.  SMU may be in Texas but it is still a southern school and giving outright values for what you paid and going on about it is generally frowned upon.  She definitely let everyone know her her daddy was.  From the two episodes I've seen of that show, she hasn't changed a bit.

She also didnt make it into a sorority, despite rushing, which is why she transferred out.  Kind of funny when you think about how proud she is of her money and fashion savvy.

That should just show you how insane the sorority competition is there.[/quote]
