<p>SoOre, Does the WASP to Wall Street connection and old-money, snooty profile still exist at Williams, Amherst, Princeton and a handful of eastcoast elites. Yes, probably. But is it the prevailing culture-defining experience? No, absolutely not.</p>
<p>Williams kids (and faculty and administration) are good people and come from a wide range of backgrounds – racial, social, economic, religious, political. </p>
<p>My son is a recent graduate and I can attest that his friends and those families that I’ve had the pleasure to meet are as warm, kind, funny, smart, interesting and down to earth as you could hope for. </p>
<p>In fact, in spite of the incredible academics and art-related opportunities, it’s the exposure to what we hope will be lifelong friends that makes Williams an astonishing experience.</p>
<p>If you’d like some details, pm me, I’d be happy to give you examples.</p>
