[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only student I know who went to Wake treated college as “finishing school”.  Fits all the stereotypes mentioned so far: WASP, Southern, preppy,  smart and great student  but not intellectual, wealthy but not at all flashy about it, Greek life essential, great social skills

I went to Wake and this is about right. Most of my classmates were smart and hardworking but not intellectual (i.e., would grind but wouldn't stay up late discussing political philosophy). Plenty of opportunities to party and have fun. Lots of well to do families but nouveau riche tendencies are looked down upon.

I'd say you can have fun while not being Greek but Greek life dominates.

I was at Wake recently to see my niece and I beg to differ. I was there on family weekend and I have not seen that many pairs of golden goose shoes (even on teenage siblings) or designer bags on any campus. Moms were dressed to impress. Cars were really nice. I was struck at how much effort the parents put in to look good. [/quote]
