<p>Well said, Periwinkle.</p>
<p>Funny how “perspective” clouds someone’s conclusions about BS. The fact that he was stuck in a “minority” dorm is telling. I have a friend who graduated SPS the same year I graduated Exeter and we have had some interesting exchanges about campus culture “back then.” Which isn’t the same as “here and now.”</p>
<p>Wonder how much his perspective is clouded by other aspects of his background and family expectations.</p>
<p>The reality is that some students of “wealth” may actually be less qualified then the people tagged as such based on appearance or economic situation. It’s pretty surprising that the “haves” are often the “have nots” in many ways tangible and intangible.</p>
<p>Still - students are not widgets and can’t be lumped into stereotypes and statistics.</p>
