[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on this thread, I just checked for my kids big 3 class email and wow there are several alumni emails!  I play it cool with gmail and just[b] let it slip occasionally that I went to college near Boston.[/b] [/quote] Yuck. Why do you even feel the need to do this? Or to "play it cool".  Why do you need to let others know in the first place (unless you are speaking with someone who also attended and you want to talk about shared experiences)?  [/quote]

Just go ahead and say you went to Harvard. You do not need to protect us non-pedigreed folk from feeling inferior...or whatever it is you think you're protecting us from.[/quote]

Why aren't MIT grads this coy? If someone says I went to school near Boston, you immediately know it isn't MIT or Tufts or Wesleyan because its always Harvard. Of course the person can't say they went to Harvard because that would be uncouth, but they are great at steering the conversation to what college everyone attended. [/quote]

Also, Wesleyan is in Connecticut. [/quote]

Connecticut is near Boston.

From now on I will tell people I went to college in a city near Gresham. [/quote]
