[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is nothing new here. It was true when I was in college 25 years ago. I went to an Ivy and the rich kids formed their own clique, especially the richer they were. There is a whole level of wealth where the kids have completely different relationships to the schools, an example is they pay the room and board as mandatory but have private off campus apartments or live in a full service luxury hotel suite. The jet setters/international cohort were infamous for doing this. The Park/Fifth/Bel Air/Brentwood kids were slightly more grounded but still stuck to each other like glue. I was a normal UMC kid from a day school and even most of my group of friends were similar UMC kids from private or good public schools. Some did get a small amount of financial aid, others were full tuition due to careful parents. [/quote] This was also my experience at an Ivy 25+ years ago. There's a whole other level with trust fund kids. [/quote]
