[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not fun being the poor kid at a rich school.  Can he join his dormmates to fancy restaurants a few days a week and blow $500, or $5000, on a saturday night out without breaking a sweat?  Will girls be interested if he cannot?  Will he have the poor car that cannot be parked in front of the frat house?  Will the frat ask what his father's occupation is during rush week, will it be good enough? [/quote]

This is definately something to consider.  It's more challenging to find friends when you simply don't have any extra spending $$ in college and 60-75%+ around you are full pay, and have an open ended Credit card/cash flow to do whatever they want.

exactly.  and these kids talk about who is "poor," meaning middle class, laugh about it, laugh at cars that are like toyotas or fords, girls won't want to ride in one, they expect very nice jewelry gifts regularly.  It's so much.  Just forget it unless you are rich. [/quote]

DP. Some of you are so insecure and weird. I was MC and went to a top private college with many wealthy kids, but I found my way. And there were plenty of other middle class kids. If anything, many of the wealthy schools trend very liberal so the rich kids are almost a little embarrassed of their privilege. LMC and middle class kids who made their way there based on merit had extra cred. [/quote]

I am simply providing facts about how it was at my expensive private university.[/quote]
