| um...I don't attend, but I am enrolled for the class of 2012. for what it's worth, I'll tell you what I think. as far as the J. Crew business, I didn't see too many "preppy" people there when I visited. call them hipsters, call them hippies; point is: they aren't very preppy. to be honest, though...I don't think they care too much. I'm sure you can be whoever you want there and still be accepted. um...not sure what sort of upbeat 90's music you're talking about, but I would certainly expect to hear plenty of "indie" music there. I'm sure they're open to all sorts of music, but then again, I can't speak for a school I've visited once. I'm not familiar with Gossipgirl, really, but...well, this I really can't answer. if I were to let myself represent the student body, I would say that they don't wear J. Crew, they don't listen to upbeat 90's music, and they don't watch Gossipgirl. :[ however, I would never tell you anything you wore/listened to/watched was wrong, so...yeah. go with what feels right. just remember, college is much more than what you wear and listen to. if you are creative and like the progressive way in which Bard works, you're probably a better fit than any "pretentious artsy smoker" will ever be. |
