My impression from years ago and my kid's now is that it's very, very generic people who want a condo then a townhouse then a single family home in Vienna or certainly NoVa and then to have 2.2 kids and a dog, and talk about the commute and taxes and the weather.
And if you haven't matured beyond this level of "insight," it's clear that your university didn't exactly help you expand your horizons. That's a shame.
Ha ha, if you knew me in real life... I have a LOT of faults but that isn't one of them
Doubtful. It’s hard to take seriously anyone who labels an entire population of 6000 anywhere with the word generic. You are presumably an adult (if an insufferably smug one). Do better.

People aren't generally great at knowing their own flaws.
I'm not sure that is true. But -- seriously -- I think it would be pretty hilarious if I told you more about myself
Yes, we would definitely be laughing at you.

Not just this thread. The people who post on DCUM are exactly the types we're trying to teach our kids not to be (shallow, judgmental, status-climbers). For a good laugh, check out the posts on private schools in the DMV.
Agree, they are some of the most insufferable people on the planet.

Sounds like you're not very perceptive IMO.
Not generally, but maybe in this case. I can say I remember being insanely bored and unimpressed, but then again I was 18, had already been admitted to schools that vastly outranked W&M, and this was 30 years ago.

UVA is definitely Bro-y. W&M is basically an ivy with an intellectual culture as the dominant culture.
Is JMU bro-y? VT?
100% JMU
Tech, not gonna comment
Do people think this is good or bad? (Whatever it is.)
Which of these is closer to correct?:
Bro-y = Entitled, white, obnoxious frat partier
Bro-y = Fun, popular, athletic
I think #1 with the exception of “white”

When we visited JMU, my daughter was struck by the community spirit of JMU, and how kind and nice (for the lack of a better word) people were to each other. Is that was bro-y is?
