Just joking, PG, and I figured you wouldn’t mind. :)

(In reality, I can probably identify only a few Kate Spade bags from a distance.)

You are right that “students of wealth” can be found everywhere, PG. A good friend of mine had joined a sorority at her LAC, then transferred to a larger school. So her sorority affiliation remained the same. However, while the name of the sorority was the same, the social descriptors were rather different, and she thought that she would not have been accepted to the same sorority had she started at the larger school. There were evident differences in finances–again, not that anyone was “flaunting” wealth, just that the middle of the middle class has a bit lower income than people in the top 10% or so might guess. The larger school (not a drool-inducing one on CC) had its share of students whose parents arrived by private jet. She transferred back to the original LAC, happily, after a year.
