[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is a first year and wears only athletic shorts and sweatpants. He owns one pair of khakis. Is loving UVA and fitting in very well with a diverse group of kids from his dorm and classes. Joined a couple of clubs and is very happy while still being himself.

He did wear a polo to the football game when we came down to visit.  Should I be worried that he's snobby now?[/quote]

You're missing the entire point of this thread.  What is your son's background.  Is he white?  UMC?  [/quote]

Not at all.  People want to paint an entire university with the same brush. Are there affluent white NOVA kids (or non-white, non-affluent, non-NOVA kids as well) at UVA who announce or define their affluence and desired social status by wearing quarter zips and khakis all day long??  Of course there are.  But there are also tons of kids there who don't fit that mold at all.  And those kids also fit in perfectly well, many times, right along side the quarter-zippers. [/quote]
