[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yikes. I truly hope this is a fake. My definition of snobby: Leading with where you went to college and, worse yet, judging others by where they went (second tier, oh no!!!)

I have lived here more than 20 years, and if you are old enough (sadly, I am), your friends will end up accomplishing amazing things. But I can honestly say that I barely know where most of my closest friends went to college (even when they went to H or Y or P or S...I added S because you missed the West Coast...East Coast snobbery to boot!). And I certainly have no clue where they went to high school.

OP here. We never tell people where we went to school. In the Northeast, people were usually judged on their own accomplishments. We have friends who come from real money (10 figure wealth) who are achievers. DC natives feel like they are snobby because there is such a large poor population. They grew up entitled and keep the same attitude. [/quote]

Right - there are no poor people in South Boston? or Providence? Are you forgetting the charming neighborhood near your alma mater in New Haven? Or most of the state of New Hampshire?

I went to a prestigious secondary school (by DC standards only of course), and one of the middle tier ivies, and honestly don't know a single person who actually acts like you. [/quote]
