I went to Georgetown and I'm so confused by this. Where is this happening?

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.


Seems very different than Duke, no?


Go look at the Instagrams from the Duke polo matches and see.


Duke doesn't have a polo team


Okay, so maybe young polo fans should choose a different college.

Or at least we don’t live like it.

My kid definitely sees the billionaire kids at their Ivy and we are on the outside of that wealth.


You're definitely outside of that. As was pointed out above, know your place.

This is such a stupid example. You think kids only bond or socialize over spring break? Kids meet in dorms, shared activities, classes….. Plenty of time for less resourced kids to hang out with wealthy kids like mine. And yes, they have been to our island home and we have gotten them internships.



your company hires by nepotism not merits?

Agree, I’m the PP who posted earlier with$25M. We are very well off but I honestly don’t feel wealthy in the manner people speak of.
