This is college today.[/quote]

That was Georgetown 30 ago too.  It just wasn't on Instagram.

Elite private colleges have a lot of wealthy students and some of them have a lot of wealthy international students like Georgetown.  [/quote]

Seems very different than Duke, no?[/quote]

Go look at the Instagrams from the Duke polo matches and see.[/quote]

Duke doesn't have a polo team[/quote]

Okay, so maybe young polo fans should choose a different college.[/quote]

What are the good colleges with Polo teams? My kid likes horsies.

It seems in general the children of the NYC Wall Street elite and the offspring of Chinese and Middle Eastern wealth don’t really add a lot to anyone’s college experience. They stick together and don’t really engage with professors or the plebes who are the children of people with a net worth below $50 million. I’m sure there are exceptions, but they’re not really there for the education or the wanting of a good job. But it’s awesome they fill the Art History and Anthropology departments and keep them alive. Not even being cynical. We need them. Every Art History professor would agree.

So for low subscribed majors, we need the 0.01 percent. Give them the easy As so the academics can get on with their research.[/quote]
