Miserable? My kid’s gets big name concerts on the green. SNL at the theater. Tons of festivals. Laid-back and friendly.

You just parrot bs.

Shrug. I’m just the messenger here, and I’m telling you that kids these days, including Ivy-potential kids, think the Ivies are miserable places filled with miserable people.

Ivies aren’t seen the way they used to be, and I’m a HYS graduate myself.

Wtf is WAS?

Williams Amherst Swarthmore. It's for snobs who don't believe that WASP is elite enough (can't take California-based Pomona seriously), even though the four schools are indistinguishable outside of location and cultural differences.

What a strange thing to do. Sometimes surprised by the provincial attitudes here.

Use of “provincial” on this board is like nails on a chalk board to me! Ugh. I hope we never meet IRL.

Parents still amazed that their kid can’t get into any Ivy like they did back when admission rates were 30%.

The Bucknell troll is funny. Clearly done on purpose to get a reaction and it always works. The Holy Cross troll is delusional.
