Oshoyu:

It shows that CC is indeed at the top of income disparity among US colleges and universities (nearly 1/4 from the top 1%),

The kids I’ve know at CC were quite wealthy, but they are also from Colorado. Colorado residents are charged a different tuition rate at CC, so it is an attractive LAC to attend - they might not be eligible for financial aid at another LAC because they are from higher income families, but the tuition at CC is low for them.

Of course they then have a lot of disposable income, but many of them (those I know) still like to do the free activities Colorado offers - camping, hiking, skiing (with an ICON or EPIC pass), snowshoeing. Lots of free fun.
