[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two kids at top20 schools and the wealthy private school kids absolutely stick together at both. DC private school (Sidwell, St Albans level) kids are included in this to some degree, depending on the kid. They know NYC and boarding school kids socially because there are kids who start at the DC privates and then go in to Andover, Exeter, Taft, Choate, etc.  Or their parents work together at the same companies.  or their cousins are in NYC.  Or a big one--they went to summer camp together.  Or their friends went to summer camp together. My DC private school kids became friends with some wealthy, boarding school kids in college because their DC friends went to summer camp with the NYC kids. The 15k/summer type camps. It's a weird and very close community at the high levels.

This is a large part of why people pay $$$ for private school. connections are made long before college. [/quote]

Same here. Two kids at T20. 
They had large friend groups before they even got to campus filled with kids that were introduced to them (by other kids from a private high school world). 
Kids from all over the US. 
Coast to coast.
It helps if you’re generally an outgoing, social kind of kid to take advantage of all of the introductions.
Made the adjustment very easy with a thriving social circle.[/quote]
