[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny, I've heard the bright kids this month debating on whether they want to go to UVA or VT, and the argument keeps coming up that UVA has too many preppy douchelords.

And poor old W&M is completely out of fashion with the kids--too stodgy and grindy, and lacking in tech shinies.[/quote]

There were too many preppy douchelords at UVA 30 years ago, which is why I applied to W&M instead.[/quote]

You totally sound like someone in their late 40s.

Nice try, kiddo. [/quote]

I am 50.

Was repeating the phrase the other pp's kid used because I thought it was aptly descriptive; we didn't call them "preppy douchelords" back in the day, just stuck up frat jerks.

There were plenty snooty jerks then, but it sounds like many more now. Some people at UVA were calling themselves "The University" back then too, and tended to have an attitude problem. Wanted nothing to do with the school, as my family did not have money or prestige and I knew it was not a good fit for me. [/quote]
