I don’t check this website that often anymore, so I’m a little late to respond, but I would argue this hearsay is flat out wrong. For comparison, my son attends a different LAC where a significant minority of the student body does “flaunt” their wealth (cross-country flights for the weekend, boxes at major sporting events, casually dropping $500 for a night out, etc) but my daughter hasn’t experienced that AT ALL at Carleton. The stories the two kids tell about their classmates are strikingly different. I know there are plenty of very wealthy kids at Carleton, but the vibe is super down-to-earth.
