[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC went to one of the midwestern schools on your list OP, along with 18 kids from her HS class and lots of kids from other schools in this area. DC is still friends with a number of the HS classmates but it's certainly not HS 2.0. If anything knowing those kids broadened her horizons because she met people through them. My point is not to assume that just because a school isn't near here that it won't attract kids from this area. [/quote]
I will also add that even among kids who go very far away for school, they tend to hang out with *similar* people to who they were hanging out with at home. I mean, I personally don't care, but I think it's [b]a bit silly to think there's this huge difference between affluent kids from Bethesda and affluent kids from Westport Connecticut and Winnetka IL.

If you *really* wanted your kid to be exposed to all walks of life, somewhere like NVCC is your best bet. [/quote]

Yup, in fact one of DCs roommates is from Winnetka![/quote]
