This reminds me of D3’s friend at our state flagship. They met as roommates for a 3 week session held before the start of freshman year. She was from NYC, a wealthy background (as in family owned an apartment in Manhattan and two other vacation homes), and was at midwest Big 10 school because, according to the student, her mother wanted her to experience a different world as she would be living the rest of her life in NYC.
She had a bit of an adjustment problem-first concern was the lack of a campus laundry service. She was disappointed D3 had never been cow-tipping as that’s what everyone in America’s heartland does for fun. When the semester started she was in a different dorm than D3 but they chatted from time to time. She met up with D3 and her friends for lunch one day and said she was having a hard time meeting people and making friends. She further remarked that she was too different from the other students at the school. When asked what she meant by that statement, she pointed out that when she came to visit her senior year of HS, she flew there in her family’s private jet. D3 said it was a bit embarrassing as she and her friends just looked at each other. How do you respond to a statement like that? Lol
She left before the end of the semester and later attended a private school in DC.
