[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My nephew is from an upper middle class family and is currently at Deerfield. He is a great kid but his taste got WAY more expensive. He used to come on family gatherings at the family vacation home and now he goes on "internships" in Asia and his friends celebrate their birthdays by taking a group of them to the Caribbean.

Your student will learn what REAL money is at DA.[/quote]

Maybe but old money is not flashy like that. The two families I know that sent kids there are status obsessed and networking obsessed (yes - our kids can be friends only if you can help us out socially or professionally types). So you are paying money to be with people like that. I would think very hard. [/quote]

From what I have heard, there’s not a lot of old money left going to Deerfield. It sounds like it’s very flashy money there these days.[/quote]

Deerfield alums include members of royal families from many countries. There's new money at all the top schools but Deerfield will always attract old money more than most.[/quote]
