Does the east coast have a rich/snobby vibe??

<p>wow thanks for all the replies, guys!</p>

<p>first of all, let me say one thing: i don’t think all rich people are snobby! i have a few friends who are fairly well off (7 different coach purses, cruises twice a year, etc.) and they’re all very nice… my friend’s comments about haverford just got me worried.</p>

<p>the general theme seems to be that college will be what you make of it… which i definately agree with. most people on here seem to be saying that even if a few northeast colleges do have a slightly preppy vibe they’ve been able to avoid the people who emulate this quite easily… so my anxiety is somewhat eased =)</p>

<p>ooh and p.s. i agree with the comments about breaking away… sometimes IU frat kids can be kinda dumb, but they’re all still very nice and i’ve never noticed any seperation between them and townies.</p>
