[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]there are 3 schools that have consistently produced alumni who annoy me both professionally and socially since I graduated from a Pa liberal arts college 40+ years ago.

Williams, Cornell, and Duke.

Although Cornell grads are far and away the most obnoxious imo, Williams grads hold their own in this regard..[/quote]

+1 the most incompetent person I have ever met on the job was a Williams grad[/quote]

Extended time in an overly sheltered environment can come at the cost of emotional maturity, social awareness, and everyday life competence. This is often the process paid for attending school in a bubble-like locale such as Williams or Amherst

I went to Williams and won’t argue that it was a sheltered, bubble-like locale. However, it’s not the college’s job to foster emotional maturity, social Awareness, life skills, etc. Some of it is the parents’ job and some of it occurs naturally as kids evolve and navigate new adult situations. I didn’t have to look for off-campus housing, navigate city public transportation or be mindful of crime. However, I did have to make my way through most normal college situations and grew from that.
