[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the wealth disparity is more evident at UVA than other major state flagships like UMich and Cal. [i]That is not to say that those schools  have wealth disparities[/i]. There is a southern planter-y air at UVA which contrasts o the feel of Michigan, Cal and UCLA.

All that said, can Michigan leverage UMich to jump start its economy?

[b]I meant to say that those schools have wealth disparities, but it does not play out like UVA. I grew up in NE. A lot of prep school kids went there whereas the others had more socio-economic diversity.[/quote][/b]

This entry gets today's award for least-self-observant poster.  "Twenty or thirty years ago mummy and daddy had so much money that I got to attend Phillips Exeter (which is now $61K a year).  Some of those prep school students went to UVA.  Ergo, UVA is for the wealthy".  Unbelievable.  Ever think that maybe those kids were on scholarship?  or had the scores to attend?[/quote]

UVA has more rich kids than Berkeley or Michigan.[/quote]
