[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Villanova is a very selective top 50 university and costs over $70,000 a year. For decades it’s been known as a smart and rich (Catholic) kid school; for kids that can’t get into Duke or Notre Dame, which frequently reject Eagle Scouts with perfect stats.

This honestly thread is really, really stupid.

Rich kids are almost always fairly successful. They have good genetics, money, connections, attend the best k-12, dress well, high social IQ, and tend to graduate from college on time. Add in the inheritance from parents and grandparents, and of course they never fall down a class rung.

It’s only a cope by middle class message board dwellers that all these rich kids are dumb, lazy, crash and burn in college, and turn into workshy druggies.[/quote]

Nice cherry-picking.  Is St. Joe’s for kids who were aspiring to Duke?  Drexel?  OP specifically said the people there were from diverse economic origins.  Like my brother and his kids - he and his wife raised them in a middle-class part of Lower Bucks, went to Penn State or Millersville, and are enjoying a very nice life.  Not ruling the world and maybe driving Toyotas instead of Teslas but doing fine.  My other brother (not a college grad) raised his kids in a NY exurb - full of split and high ranches.  His kids didn’t go to top 30 schools and are also doing well.  Is it so hard to accept that you can have a nice home in a decent school district without having gone to Penn?  [/quote]

Do either of your siblings have a $1 million+ second home on the Jersey shore or anywhere else?[/quote]
