[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not going to comment on today versus 20 or 30 years ago. But I will say that when I was at my Ivy I also had the opportunity to travel to several large northeastern state universities/regional public universities for specific events and it struck me how different the students looked. [b]People at the state schools were a lot heavier and not as groomed[/b]. Not everyone, of course! But there was certainly a quota of overweight and slobby students as well as generally unhealthy looking students that you rarely saw at the Ivy.

The Ivies are dominated by the educated upper middle classes from professional families as well as affluent families and the American upper middle and upper classes are, as a group, healthy and well-groomed. Part of it has to do with money and access to nicer clothes, part of it has to do with education promoting healthier lifestyles and a large part of it clearly has to do with peer pressure within the upper classes of America.

You see this difference in schools as well. Compare the student body at the DC private schools or elite public high schools with regular public high schools in the outer suburbs or PG county or especially in rural areas, you will see a big difference in how the kids look and dress.

This is not true at the large southern schools.  The girls there are hands down the best looking of all college girls. [/quote]

Outside of the Greek scene it is very true. Lots of plump girls at Alabama.[/quote]
