Funny Alexandre, a friend of mine is a Chicago alum (1999) and we hung out all night tonight. Honestly, he regrets that he didnt apply to Princeton or Dartmouth. Why? Because as much as D and P might have social options like “drinking” the schools also create a sense of community that a place like Chicago will never have. He said his reunion had about a 20% turnout. He also said people didn’t really keep in touch after they graduate. To this day I am invited to gatherings in multiple cities every weekend. Tonight I probably hung out with 10 Dartmouth alums, and not all of them knew each other before, yet they are all one degree of seperation apart. The communities of top notch people that the ivies/LACs create are absolutely unique and absolutely great.
