Thanks karabee! That’s just the type of advice I’m looking for. Personally I don’t even like shopping because I’m kind of a minimalist…or more of utilitarian really…plus I hate it when a certain friend of mine suggests shopping and then it feels like the other 3 girls are shopping and I’m window-shopping or holding one of their bags I imagine a school like Vanderbilt attracts affluent students mostly

@lastchance: You’re right, it’s not worth it and I can’t really afford it so I don’t. I’m not having trouble meeting people though - like I said, I’m involved in a sport and in some clubs. But the girls on my volleyball team don’t play volleyball on Friday nights, you know?

@DC - I agree the first situation is better. I think if I had gone to a college filled with more middle-class kids I would’ve ultimately fit in better…my college has poor financial aid so it’s most rich kids or people like me on merit and need scholarships
