[quote=Anonymous]Anecdotally, I think being hyperaware of all the different colleges and universities, and which ones are in the Ivy league, etc., is sometimes a sign of socioeconomic insecurity. I grew up MC, both of my parents were first gen college students, and it seemed really important to them that my siblings and I knew stuff like that. I think they thought it would make us appear fancier than we were. My spouse, on the other hand, grew up wealthy and it was assumed he'd go to college where all the other men in his family went, and so he never really bothered to learn the differences between this school and that school. Most of what he did pick up probably came from following college sports.[/quote]
