It seems like most everyone else here can provide examples and articulate points without resorting to giving out their SSNs, on the one hand, and making broad-based, overgeneralized and highly conclusive claims on the other.

You joined the fray...because you had no choice? So since I assume you couldn't become a rich snob, did you become a druggie, jock or one of the other people you couldn't stand...since those seem to be the only types of people who populate the boarding school in your head. No, you couldn't say, "I had to work hard to find down-to-earth people whose company I enjoyed." You have to create a laundry list of "types" of students that excludes people you would regard as decent. Once again, you overstate your case and undermine it, while -- paradoxically perhaps -- convincing me that you were definitely poorly served by your choice of boarding school.
