[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s the deal with “school spirit”? Can anyone define it? [b]Why did it disappear at some schools that used to have it?[/b] Why do some kids want it so much, even kids who have the stats for elite schools?[/quote] Rents. A lot of schools that are in more expensive areas don't have cheap off-campus housing. So upperclassmen tend to commute more farther away and just don't do a lot of campus ECs like they used to. The high tuition also pushes students to focus more on things like co-ops, internships, job search, etc. and less on other campus activities. I went to an undergraduate campus that was in a lower middle class/working class suburb and the apartments were dirt cheap near campus. The area has since gentrified and the apartments are expensive now, full of working professionals. [/quote]
