[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yes. my dd is at Wisconsin and there's probably private school cliques but more common would be friend groups where the kids are from public schools (or maybe Catholic) in...say...McLean, New Canaan, Larchmont, Wellesley, Winnetka, Bethesda, La Jolla, Bryn Mawr, and Short Hills. Not the kids who are private yachting for spring break and flying out to Aspen to ski on the weekends but definitely similar life experiences being UMC in major metro areas. they're going out to eat together, they always new clothing/outfits for formals or themed parties, Ubers, that kind of thing.[/quote]

This is wealthier than UMC.  New Canaan and La Jolla, based upon personal experience, are wealthy places, and I suspect the other communities, mentioned here are as well.

Perhaps, not traveling abroad on breaks wealth, but still wealthy.  A lot of UMC kids aren’t getting generous, if any, aid, and have to spend prudently with the funds their parents can provide and what they have earned.  They aren’t often buying new outfits for formals or themed parties.[/quote]
