@ saugus, “Everyone just kind of sits around drinking tea all day.”

obviously a poor exaggeration of what i was asking. obviously they don’t sit around drinking tea all day; that’s very different from people being sophisticated in general, in the extracurriculars they choose or the lifestyles they lead.

“Consider the fact that the majority of the students are on financial aid.”

doesn’t mean they aren’t high-class or sophisticated…

“And it’s a college. Why would you be looking for that lifestyle?”

i don’t understand what this is supposed to mean. you assume everyone is looking for a traditional “frat, drinking, parties, hook-ups” kind of college experience? wow…

@ fauve, so once they allowed women in, it stopped being elitist? doesn’t make any sense. there are leagues of sophisticated women…
