[quote=Anonymous][quote]I do not agree that being the poor kid in private school would be constructive. I went to a top tier private school on a full scholarship and it was very difficult for me socially. I couldnt even do basic things like go out with my friends to the mall because that usually involved spending boatloads of money that I didnt have. I also got left out of travel activities...summers in nantucket and maine, etc. I was able to connect with a few people but for the most part felt like I was on the outside looking in.[/quote]

I sort of agree.  I went to a private on full scholarship.  I didn't feel left out in the sense that my friends invited me to visit their country homes etc.  People were very nice, for the most part.  But I didn't usually have the spending money to do things that my friends were doing, couldn't afford to go on the class ski trip, and didn't have a country house/nice apartment to invite friends back to.  Again, the other students were generally a kind and decent group, but it was hard to fit in, given my different circumstances.  The education was top notch, though, and I'm still really glad I went for that reason. [/quote]
