[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC is at a top private and I don't think its uncomfortable for MC kids.  However, that is the group that is kind of missing.  There are lots of full pay, basically half of the class which is typical for all of these schools.  Then there is a large portion, probably 1/4 on full aid,  the remainder are the middle class kids.  Statistically there should be more but I suspect this is the donut hole problem, their parents own houses, have 401k accounts so the amount of aid they are offered isn't enough for many of them to attend.

+1 In any large school, there will a mix of kids. A lot of my friends had campus work-study jobs and ate every night at the dining hall except for the occasional pizza slice off campus.  My rich roommate who went to a well-known high school boarding school had friends with fall and spring breaks at houses on Caribbean islands and dinner out at restaurants a lot of nights.  Most students will find their group, and my group of not so rich kids with campus jobs became very successful adults.[/quote]
