<p>All three schools should have accepted student facebook pages. Get out your magnifying glass and study what the kids are wearing/what kind of jewelry they have on/cars/beach houses/jets/polo ponies in the background, etc. Am I missing any snob markers?</p>
<p>Yes, Princeton would be perfect–she could try to be punched for the two most elite eating clubs, Ivy and Cottage, and will be rejected because she is from California and not an east coast boarding school WASP. Such fun.</p>
<p>My sister went to Princeton. She doesn’t seem snobby but maybe I am just not recognizing her snubs? Perhaps my own ignorance isn’t recognizing them?</p>
<p>The other day she asked me to watch her kids. I wonder if that means she thinks I am her nanny or something?</p>
<p>Princeton has shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh EATING CLUBS!</p>
<p>Yep, yep son swears it was the school for him from the get go! At last a club where the mission is to EAT!!! </p>
<p>He was fixin’ on eating a whole mess of them mighty fine fangled french slugs, little bitty crackers with some smelly cheese (he can fit a fistful of those in his mouth all at once!), and all the mountain dew he can drink!</p>
<p>He thought he died and went to pig-pikin’ heaven!!!</p>
<p>I’ve written 3 previous replies but hit the Back button before I could post because I didn’t want to get myself banned for what I would LIKE to say. Not worth it.</p>
<p>However, I do believe we have just met the female equivalent to Dad II.</p>
<p>Let’s just hope her D is more like Dad than Mom, in oh so many ways.</p>
<p>I am going to put my feet up on a table right here, whip out my bag of peanuts and just start shelling as I drink my cold one straight out of the bottle (glasses are for sissies and I can be as uncouth as the next person), because this floor show ought to be really good. Mind if I clip my toenails and scratch a little bit (I’ll be discreet).</p>
<p>Another page in the continuing saga of you just can’t make this stuff up…</p>
<p>Op,</p>
<p>Are you afraid that the Princeton snobs may look down on your D because she is not a legacy?
She may have a problem if you did not attend Princeton. By the way, who are your people? What do you mean your parents did not attend Princeton? What, there are no buildings named after you? You didn’t endow a chair? Just because you may be paying full price, you really ain’t ballin’ or shot callin’.</p>
<p>West Coast School? You poor thing! Everyone knows that only those worth knowing attend Andover, St. Paul, Phillips Exeter, Deerfield, etcetera, etcetera… We can’t have Muffy, Biff, Binky & Chip hanging out with just any old one.</p>
<p>The problem is that those snobs who are her social superior will consider her their social inferior and thus avoid hobnobing with her. How does one know if someone is her social superior? I think college kids should wear different colored uniforms like on Star Trek.</p>
<p>That is an excellent suggestion. May I suggest that 4th generation legacies with buildings affixed with discreet brass plaques with their family name/crest don’t need special colors? They can walk around in anything they like (or nothing at all) and all the inferiors will just pretend to see their finery?</p>
<p>Except Kat’s son “Dang, Maw, them there snobs ain’t wearin’ no duds!”</p>
<p>I think college kids should wear different colored uniforms like on Star Trek. </p>
<p>It would make it easier, wouldn’t it? SES shown directly by the color of the uniform. Brilliant suggestion. Then she (the OP’s D) would know immediately which boy was cuter. ;)</p>
<p>I will say my daughter’s fellow students were surprised when she asked how to get a passport, which she would need to study abroad.
“They couldn’t believe I haven’t been been out of the country!”
“But darling, don’t you remember going to Niagara Falls when you were nine?”</p>
<p>He said the girls on his floor just kept screamin’ and screamin’ everytime he walked from the showers (hose in the sink at our house).</p>
<p>Y’all got a sink? AND a hose? Townfolks I see. We gotta tub with crick water. When the crick runs. Otherwise we’re in our own version of them mid-evil times and look mighty like them tater-diggers allin’ r kin wuz.</p>
