| A good friend of my daughter's was probably at the same event, he is going to Vandy on a 3/4 scholarship - he comes from a comfortable, but not rich family. Great kid, jeans courtesy of Old Navy.
There's a lot of money at Vandy, no doubt, but the proportion of the conspicuous consumers is decreasing as admin tries to attract students from other areas of the country. But, a girl is going to feel the lack of the D&Gs a lot more than your average guy. I'm just not sure that UVa is that much different, even though it is a public school - my acquaintance with UVa was from 15 years ago, but there was serious money in residence then. Marite has a good idea, try connecting with ER or other Vandy students posting on the college's thread. |
