[quote=Anonymous][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]

My cousin went to SMU, she is from a relatively wealthy family.  My great uncle is a big lawyer in Dallas (or was...in his 80's now.)  Lives in Highland Park, spends his vacation in Russia hunting bears.  She transferred to Baylor because one of her sorority sisters did something mean because she couldn't afford the $$$$$ shoes they were wearing to some stupid party.

Yeah, unfortunately I saw a lot of stuff like that.  Everyone is really label conscious.  You can get away with not having everything, but it's like another world. A world where everyone has Chanel bags and if you dont you are considered a poor  :shock:   Absolutely nuts.[/quote]
