[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not for a second put Brown on this list. I suspect the majority of Brown students are strongly attracted to the lack of required classes. That’s why it is so popular with Hollywood offspring who might not be actual Ivy material, but can get by with a bunch of easier classes. At a school with snob appeal,  students wouldn’t be deterred by required classes, even if they included classical languages or ancient philosophy. [/quote]

Brown, Dartmouth, USC and NYU are favorite destinations of kids of super wealthy Indians. [/quote]

That is not the group we are talking about here[/quote]

It's one of them.

Super-wealthy Indians are the ones who can afford to have Larlo go into jewelry design, or write a fantasy trilogy about the evils of colonialism, or carelessly buck family traditions and open an art gallery or join a theater company, or start a theater company...

Snob appeal isn't about the professional class, it's not the thousands of computer scientists whose parents were from Bangalore or Birmingham, or the premed or prelaw or finance majors... snob appeal has circled back to being a cultural hothouse, one that the plebs truly cannot understand.
