I’ve never seen that at all. In my experience, the students are really friendly, helpful, into community service / campus involvement, motivated, etc. HOWEVER. What I can think of is that there are a lot of Long Island kids. Depending on where you’re from, we do have a reputation for things like wearing designer clothes, attending expensive summer camps, family vacations … I mean, that is what it is but it’s honestly been my experience that the student body is great and welcoming.
