<p>My S has been admitted and really likes the school but I'm wondering if a middle class kid can feel comfortable at Skidmore?
My impression is that Skidmore has many prep school kids and I wonder if the vibe is "rich kid". My kid wouldn't be comfortable surrounded by only preppy types.
Can anyone give me their opinion.</p>
<p>My very middle class son goes there and he told me he fits right in and loves it there. He told me he can’t tell who is rich or not. Skidmore does not seem preppy to me. Just my opinion though.</p>
<p>Is there an opportunity for your son to do an overnight before deciding on Skidmore? We spent a day visiting the school and know some current students from a mix of backgrounds who all seem happy. We were positively impressed by the balance between science and arts offerings. The social scene is something that your son could likely get a better handle on through visiting.</p>
