[quote=Anonymous]I graduated from Villanova in the mid 90's. I will tell you that my fellow VU alums are for the most part, extremely successful when looking at net worth. All of my roommates live in 4-5 mil + homes and many people I knew from college are successful in fields such as finance, entrepreneurship, medicine, orthodontists etc. Sometimes I feel like the poor relative in my less than 2 mil house (just a joke). I experienced  people who have a lot of family money - but I didn't take it as a negative. I know people on this forum think that is a bad thing. But as a kid who came from a single parent household attending a middling public school, it opened my eyes to a whole new world out there. I gained a network of high net worth individuals and an understanding of the lives of summers in the Hamptons and Caribbean spring breaks. There were others there like me, but I've found exposure to these people helped me in my career and catapulted my own trajectory in terms of marriage and status. I would say this sounds shallow but the thing about VU is that the kids do care - they give back to the community and take the Catholic identity of the school seriously. People want to help others. They care about their fellow students and want to give back to the community. For me, it was a great experience and changed the path of my life.[/quote]
