<p>With regard to stereotypes: Can we please stop categorizing people and lumping them all together according to race? Each person is unique; each person has an ethnicity; all ethnic groups are equally good (shock:even"whites"!). As a non-white lol, this “white kids/lack of diversity” jargon is so tiring and divisive. When I look around, I see people. Period.</p>
<p>Next, this “rich/wealthy” business. There is nothing wrong in being rich; it is not a crime. When people go to job interviews, do they say, “I don’t care what you pay me? Pay me as little as possible.” No, of course not. They want to get the highest salary they can. Likewise, I’m guessing that a majority of students go to college to increase their job prospects; meaning earning potential. Good thing that there are “rich full pay” parents because without them, colleges would be hard pressed to give financial aid to the less affluent.</p>
<p>Luckily, we are able to pay for all of our kids’ education but not one of my friends know this; nor do I know if any of them are full pay, half pay whatever. We keep our financial situation private; character, not income is what matters in friendship. I know people whose children attended elite, private high schools. I would have loved to have been able to; but we couldn’t because we had to save our money for college and couldn’t afford both. I do not begrudge them, hold it against them, hate them or make them feel guilty (sometimes I do get envious and then I have to slap myself).</p>
<p>Finally: Drinking. Alcohol consumption is not limited to BC, in fact it is not even considered a top party/drinking school. If drinking is a major concern, there are many websites which list the party schools, such as [Top</a> 100 College Party Schools of 2013 – NEW YORK, Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ --](<a href=“http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/top-100-college-party-schools-of-2013-189667071.html]Top”>http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/top-100-college-party-schools-of-2013-189667071.html), Princeton Review, and so on.</p>
