[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This place is so out of touch and bourgeois.

Most people don't graduate from any college, period. The majority of those that do tend to graduate from no-name schools that few have heard of out of their city.

Places that most DCUMers look "down" on, like average SEC schools, are actually well above average. [/quote]

Nearly 100% of upper-middle class kids earn a bachelors degree. I don't watch COPS on tv and think at least my kids aren't that bad -- I compare my kids to the peers in our socio-economic class and social circle.[/quote]

This is classic DCUM.

Most people are not upper-middle class. So why did you use this as a qualifier? Are the 70-80 percent of the country who are not upper/upper-middle class irrelevant?

To 80 percent of the country, Ole Miss and LSU are pretty good schools. Places like Michigan and UVA are elite. When you look down on schools like this, you only reveal yourself to be an effete bourgeois who is completely out of touch.
