<p>Made a post for the friendliest students...what about the meanest, snobbiest, cliquey-est(sp?) students? Hope this doesn't start a huge fight..just curious...</p>
<p>UCLA students seemed, to me, kinda distant/somewhat mean.</p>
<p>Stanford students can sometimes be rather elitist, disdaining pretty much any school they donât consider to be âon parâ with Stanford (hell, they even disdain schools like HYP, in a not-so-friendly way). Princeton seemed to have a few jerks too. Didnât visit Yale or Harvard, but I daresay this attitude might be not so uncommon there, either.</p>
<p>Cornellâthe kids in my opinion tend to be very prestige oriented and elitist.</p>
<p>^HAHAHA^
Quite the contraryâŠ</p>
<p>There are mean kids at every school.</p>
<p>yes, there are kwu, but what ones have the most in your opinion</p>
<p>yes, there are kwu, but what ones have the most/worst in your opinion?</p>
<p>Sorry, I was actually responding to Bezcrazeâs very amusing post.</p>
<p>I wouldnât know, but there is probably a greater concentration of mean students at schools with large populations and at the elite universities.</p>
<p>Most people arenât mean. Some may appear stuck up (blame it on their mean neutral expression), but 8 times out of 10 youâll see that once you talk to them theyâre actually really nice.</p>
<p>Exactly. You will run across disagreeable people wherever you go, but, at the same time, the vast majority of people are nice.</p>
<p>Different people may be âmeanâ to different people. A conservative school might be âmeanâ to someone who tends to be an outspoken liberal, but are still typically nice people. Itâs easy to take care of that sort of stuff- if youâre not relgious at all, donât go to a school with a super-religious student body, etc.</p>
<p>USC seems to have more than its fair share of stuck up people.</p>
<p>Whoa! I know most people arenât mean, guys. I just was curious to what schools had kinda bad reps for mean students..just wondering what you thought..I know its all stereotypical, but I thought it would be interesting if people shared their thoughts in which schools they generalized as âmeanâ or âcliqueyâ</p>
<p>Well, some people seriously contemn Princetonâs eating clubs.</p>
<p>Avoid anything from the eastern edge of Pittsburgh eastward, and from the Mason/Dixon line north. Also avoid anything in California that is within 50 miles of the Pacific Ocean. The rest of the country will be ok.</p>
<p>I happen to hold a view that top schools have actually fewer number of these groups of students described. Elite schools sure do have higher concentration of elitists. But, by talking about âmeanâ students, many students from lower tier schools are mean. A lot of irrational streotypes, social cliques, and ignorance/intolerance towards diversity is rather common at many big party schools. Actually, I happen to think that most top 30-40 universities in general provide more accepting environments, perhaps due to higher maturity level and higher level of average intelligence among the student body.</p>
<p>I wouldnât say that people in the northeast are automatically mean. Schools like Vassar are known for having really really friendly students. And I wouldnât be going to Bryn Mawr if everyone was mean. :D</p>
<p>Iâve heard USC</p>
<p>Iâd go with USC or Vanderbilt. But this is them being mean if you are not like them. For example, both schools are known to be filled with attractive preppy rich kids (attractive girls for example) and if you are an ugly nerd, youâd probably find them to be mean while at say, Caltech, no one will really care how you look or where you came from as it is your âengineering abilitiesâ that matter and how well you discuss robotics. </p>
<p>^Just an example, so Iâm gonna say⊠Vanderbilt.</p>

<p>I find this thread a little weird, but if I were my D speaking, she would agree with lfecollegeguy on the Vanderbilt assessmentâŠ</p>
<p>When my D was deciding on where to enroll in April, she found that both the new admittees and those already enrolled were bordering on ârude to unfriendlyâ when she talked to them on FacebookâŠyes, itâs difficult to judge people online but when you have a couple of weeks to make a decision (and yes, she visited and found the same thing) it was not at all comforting or welcomingâŠ</p>
<p>and no, I donât consider her an âugly nerdâ (nor would anyone be able to assess that onlineâŠ)</p>
<p>I visited Vanderbilt and my tour guide was extremely friendly. The people I met were also pretty nice.</p>
