[quote=Anonymous]OP, We are middle class, and I don't dress well, but my child goes to private school where most of the parents are wealthy and dress very well. My child does not like the lack of diversity at the private school. We visited several colleges where the kids and the parents on the tours, seemed much more low-key, not preppy or wealthy, most of the kids we met had come from public high schools. My child was attracted to the colleges with a more diverse mix of kids. DC said she wanted to go to school with "normal" kids. I was surprised by this, because I expected she'd want to go to college with kids more like the kids at her private school. Anyway, I don't think we'll be seeing a lot of well-dressed parents at the school our child picks for college, and that's fine with me. Privates are skewed so much toward the upper and upper middle class. It's a very distorted view of the world. [/quote]
