@austinmshauri I said it wasn’t terribly off-base. What I meant is that it’s certainly not everyone - even based on my experience growing up in one of the Top 10 snobbiest NJ towns, that would be more than not only a bit extreme, but also ridiculous and even irrational/unreasonable. But from my interactions with people from a few Northeast publics (Bing and UMass, as well as Rutgers despite not having applied there), I feel I can reasonably say that there are a decent percentage of students who do unfortunately fit the stereotype of Northern snobbery.
