[quote=Anonymous]Male view - I attended a state u honors program at a school with almost no Greek life.   I believe most of the women above are missing the point.  Attending an elite college years ago was very much a sign of relative wealth / socio-economic status, on addition to academic ability.  For people who attended state colleges, had working class families, etc., there was a cultural gap. Harvard and any top 25 private college were more alike than different to the State u kids. I always wanted to date smart women, but found it often harder to relate to undergraduates of such schools because of wealth and relative privilege in their backgrounds, and when I was in law school the undergrads from elite schools gravitated toward one another and most showed little interest in me.   Of course, many years later 
none of this seems to matter, but in my 20s it was palpable. And I don't necessarily view it as snobbishness now  and certainly not academic elitism among those young women -- although perhaps back then there was some element of that at play - but mostlynjust socio-economic comfort.
