+1 can you imagine the ‘truly affluent’ sending their kid to Alabama. Op, the ‘truly affluent’ have very likely never been within 1,000 miles of Alabama


The E coast lives in such a bubble. Yes, people in the south have money. Lots of it. And kids of high millionaires and billionaires go to schools across the south, UT, LSU, Ole Miss, SMU, and even Alabama.

I don’t think that you know what you’re talking about, PP

Also their kids were not focused on working super hard in HS. Which is fine! Just a different outlook. They'll all don fine bc they have a lot of money anyway.


And they’ll work in the family business or use their caste system perks to get a job.

You have just met the “American Gentry” and I can assure you that their attendance at Alabama or LSU, the same as their joining those specific sororities and fraternities, was no mistake.

You’re a bit parochial yourself. The grandkids of Buffett, the Waltons of Walmart and others are at these schools.

These are the people that I went to school with. No, they don’t care. Kids will never have to earn money and live off of trusts. It’s a totally different environment. And many of my friends had substance abuse issues. So much fun to be around

Talking about kids of big sports hosts or F500 C-suite execs who live in the Midwest & South, and so on. Their kids are poised and gorgeous, go to University of Alabama or LSU, join top sororities and fraternities and have a relaxed demeanor. They’re so much fun to be around, unlike uptight DC policy schlubs. That is all.
