ive got 2 friends up at weslyan- ones likes it, the other is transferring on the basis that people there are “weird and arrogant”<



This reminds me of the story – perhaps apocryphal – of the college sophomore who visits a h/s friend who has been having a difficult time adjusting to Wesleyan. They spend the entire weekend together, meeting dozens of students, spending time with them and talking to them, mainly about what they didn’t like about other Wesleyan students. At the end of the weekend after spending hours listening to his friend and his friend’s friends do nothing but bust on Wesleyan students. The visitor finally asks, “What exactly don’t you like about Wesleyan?” to which the friend replies (with a suck of the teeth) “Well, everyone’s so catty!”
