[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because a lot of moms here want to be cool enough to be Needham or even Wellesley Moms, but instead, they reside on swamplands.[/quote].
Boston mom here.  [b]Dcum are the wannabes [/b][/quote]

And yet here you are…on DCUM.

I think there are people, like myself, that wouldn’t mind living in NYC. But it’s laughable to think anyone here covets Boston. Very few people here even [i]think[/i] about NE - never mind want to live there. But this provincial thinking is common there; I was the same until I left NE and went to college in the South.

I would never consider living in Boston and I own a summer home in MA and don’t even like DC that much…

[b]But to get back on topic, New England has 1/2 the ivies and more than 1/2 of the top liberal arts schools. It’s just a fact that New England private colleges are some of the best and are discussed on a board full of wealthy people.[/b][/quote]

That's all it is, a concentration of prestige in NE. There are plenty of other prestigious schools, just not concentrated in the a given region to the same extent. [/quote]
