[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Studies have shown that attending an elite college helps low income students move up in the world. As for actual social groups, it really depends on the college. Colleges that charge different rates for dorms, that permit residential Greek life, and that charge students to attend activities like concerts, indirectly encourage economic stratification. If you really are interested in attending a college that discourages economic stratification, I would look to Quaker colleges, colleges that have[b] lottery systems by year for housing[/b], and that have[b] "cashless" campuses where events are free for students[/b].[/quote] +1 Also helps if there aren't a ton of convenient, off-campus places to spend money on a daily basis. (Especially expensive restaurants.)[/quote]
