[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's kinda sad, OP, that kids would make snarky comments about someone going to UMD.

My kid wore a free UMD tshirt that they got at admitted students day to school, and yes, they are going to UMD.  But, we are at RM, and many RMIB kids go to UMD, especially for STEM.

Yet another reason why I'm glad we did not choose a W school.[/quote]

Congrats to your kid!

What is choose a W school?    All you had to do was buy an expensive or little home?  It's a real estate choice.   [/quote]
we could've "chosen" to buy in a W cluster.  We bought several years ago, and we could afford it, but chose not to because I didn't want my kids around so much wealth. We actually bid on a house in the Churchill cluster, and the seller tried to get more from us, but we declined. They then came back to us and agreed on our original offer, but by then we had decided against this cluster after doing a bit more research.

Wealthy schools have its own problems, just like low income schools have its own problems.

Lots of kids at RMIB go to UMD, and the ones who go to an Ivy don't make any snarky comments about those who go to UMD.[/quote]

Do you ever even think about what you say?  Churchill has equal wealth so who are you kidding to claim you don't want your kids around that much wealth?  You are the issue and the choices you make, not others so stop blaming others for your decisions.  If you choose to buy your kid a $200 pair of sneakers vs. $50, that speaks to your choices, not others.  Many of us can live in those areas but choose not to as its not the lifestyle we want and ironically those we know living those fancier lifestyles are either very wealth and can afford it or living pay check to pay check.

UMD is a great school and I don't get why people slam it.

RMIB is also a wealthier school.  You are pretty clueless about wealth.  [/quote]
