My D went to a peer school of CC with similar demographics. She and most of her friends were generally from financially stable (if not all “rich”) families, but all of her friends had campus jobs at various times. D worked all but her freshman year. She was very tight fisted with her money and bought the cheapest thing on the menu when going out. They might have thought she didn’t have as much money as some other kids, but that wasn’t the point. Kids didn’t seem to care.

My point here is that your child will find the people he wants to hang out with. That could be the kids wearing Canada Goose, or it could be the kids wearing Land’s End. It’s very unlikely he is going to be judged by his money or lack of. There will be enough stuff happening on campus to make it some what of a non-issue.
