[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NOVA seems to have an unhealthy, materialistic, status-obsessed culture. Personally, I would send my kids to school in another state just to get them somewhere that people are a bit more humble and thoughtful. I'm not sure if Berkeley fits that description, but it's probably a healthier environment than UVA, even with the aggressively partisan political atmosphere. [/quote] You haven't spent much time in Silicon Valley, I see.[/quote] Even Silicon Valley cannot compete with NOVA in this regard. It's certainly competitive and expensive there, but it's not nearly as materialistic. It's totally socially acceptable to live in a small apartment, with no car, walk around wearing cheap clothes, etc. In NOVA, this would never fly. Part of that is the East Coast vs West Coast.[/quote] The big difference is that the DC area is full of people who mistakenly think they are awesome - bunch of poseurs. The Bay Area has legit brilliant innovators. That's why *they* aren't humble. DC is just a joke. [/quote]
