[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was looking over the NYTIMES tool (it is a bit outdated now from 2017) which breaks down different college's enrollments by income level. It was shocking how much the students from the top 0.1% of families in terms of income were overrepresented. They often comprised 2-3% of the school's enrollment - meaning 20-30 times more likely to attend! - Does this provide a benefit for other students not from this economic level in terms of friendships, future business connections, or even relationships? I know this POV sounds silly, but I wonder if the possibility of rubbing shoulders with students from this kind of economic background is part of the allure of attending these colleges and universities.[/quote] Yawn. Don’t folks get tired of asking the same questions over and over again? [/quote]
