[quote=Anonymous]Just a different perspective. We are a upper middle class family, two professional parents (my h and I). Very middle of the road for our area. Fast forward to my daughters first year to college (a top 5 university) and she soon finds our her roommate is the daughter of a major fortune 500 CEO. Someone nearly all of us would recognize.

Turns out they became very good friends, so much so that they became roommates again in their sophomore year and got off campus apt in their third and fourth year. In between thees years were various invitations to wonderful trips, and all kinds of incredible events that my daughter was asked to be a part of.

They graduated this past May. Without revealing too much information, thanks to her "close ties" to this family, her father was able to help my daughter in a huge way land a very prestigious job with a company most 20 year olds dream of working for. So....bottom line knowing people int eh right place (as long as you genuinely like them) does have it privileges!

Keep an open mind. I am sure she will be just fine.[/quote]
