[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it that every Tufts, Colby, UVA, NEU, UChicago, Emory and Wake discussion devolves into acrimony and hatred? These are colleges. I don't get the overarching desire to seek out conflict.[/quote] Other than UChicago, there is relatively more insecurity about the reputations of these schools by associated parents/students. What this results in is one side heavily boosting or defending themselves and the other side thinking it’s entertaining poking fun and keeping them down. Also just becomes a vicious cycle. At the very root for both sides, is the appeal to the human nature of seeking status and self-importance.[/quote] True for some -- not UVA, Emory, UChi on the list above. [/quote]
