[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVa alumni here - it used to be seriously preppy but now I would just call it rather bland. My child didn't want to go there either as they thought it was "too preppy" and just not their vibe. Given where they ended up - I can see that. They have since visited friends who go there and like it more but are still glad they are not there. For teens - "too preppy" is more than just about clothes - it's about everyone seeming very mainstream and bland. [/quote] My kids remind me every day that I am not up on teen speak and slang but isn't what you describe "basic" rather than "preppy." When I hear preppy I think Vineyard Vines and khakis. Is that not what people mean? I think that this is an important distinction because what you describe sounds like a place where kids are not paying that much attention to how they are dressing. And that is not what a lot of us imagine when we hear preppy.[/quote]
