OP in post #1 said: so it was disappointing for me to find out that a lot of them get all dressed up to go to class.

I would say as follows:

Contrary to popular belief aka political correctness, Vanderbilt is not Exclusively for rich people school. I for one am the example of poor people with a kid graduated from Vanderbilt in Engineering and immediately has been hired after graduation and been working in Aerospace Company in Cali (with high paying job). Anyhow, who wants to dress shabby, scruffy and stinky in college? also who wants to dress up with jewelry, riding BMW, Lexus, Baby Benz, Lambo to school?. Have you checked and looked at the parking lots in Vanderbilt? do you see all brand name cars? if not then Vandy is not for rich kids. Also, If I were a rich parent, I certainly would pay my son’s school by my own money. However, Vandy has given lots of money for any students coming from all walks of life. Kindly, compare Vandy to other schools in term of giving school funds to kids. Well, Vandy is not school for rich kids.

Lastly, the question is do you want to go to college to get college degree and have better pay for entry level job or do you want to go to college to show-boat your jewelry, expensive car, etc? or perhaps you want to go to college with shabby, scruffy and stinky clothing to look cool?.
