[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand what you mean by the intellectual energy part. It’s a beautiful little campus, but nearby Lake Norman is lined with McMansions of NASCAR celebrities and a Trump golf course. That’s the vibe in the area. [/quote]

The town of Davidson is old and has a fair bit of old money sloshing around--but not ostentatious displays of it. But the surrounding area is the most absolutely gaudy new money LOOK AT ME!!!!!! LOOK AT MY MONEY!!!! displays you can imagine. We call them Lake People, and it's not a compliment.

The proper Davidson folks and the monied Charlotte people generally consider Lake People to be uncultured noobs.[/quote]

Sure. Whatever. But look at it through the lens of a 19 year old college kid.

Your kid may be different, but my DD LOVED the idea of hanging out with friends and classmates at the school’s private beach on a sunny Saturday afternoon in March/April. Sounds like heaven to a kid from the northeast who’s over cold and occasionally snowy “spring” days.

And no, she truly doesn’t care who owns which McMansion and how tacky or maga they might or might not be. She sees it for what it is - a lovely off-campus perk she knows she’d enjoy.

Seriously, sometimes a lake is just a lake and a beach day is just a beach day. [/quote]
