[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid doesn't 'speak the language' I don't see the point. They'll just end up funneling to where ever their high school friends end up, probably marrying someone from their hometown.[/quote]

I didn't speak the language, but I became smoother and better able to fit in while I was there. That wouldn't have happened at, say, UVA.[/quote]

[b]I disagree, UVA grads are some of the most affected people I've ever met.  [/quote][/b]

So when were you rejected?  Seriously, I have two kids there. This statement is absurd. UVA kids come from all 50 states and 84 countries. There's no rich-speak.  Go read "Stover at Yale" if you want to understand rich-speak.[/quote]

[b]NP here, c''mon they wear ties and dresses to football games.  I[/b]f it's your goal you can learn to be a prepster at UVA and save the extra tuition money.[/quote]

You don't even know what you are talking about.  it's "guys in ties; girls in pearls" and it was an old, fun tradition started to mess with Va Tech when the two enemies met up on the field.  It's not done anymore.  My DS wore a tie to one game for the fun of it and that was it.  Never again.  They dress for the weather.  From UVA:  "There is an ongoing debate about appropriate dress for football games, generally referred to as “guys in ties/girls in pearls” versus the “sea of orange.”  UVA had a longstanding tradition of dressing up for football games, the guys in ties and girls in sundresses.  Recently, however, the Athletic Department led by the initiative of Al Groh has tried to encourage people to dress down and wear orange t-shirts.  Each side of the debate has its adamant supporters, but most students simply dress for the weather."[/quote]
