<p>my s is on a full ride, tuition/room/board, at a CC top liberal arts college known to be mostly preppy/wealthy students. while he has encountered a majority of privileged students, who likely can go into family businesses, professions with ease upon graduation he has not fallen into a vat of brattiness. In fact he has had a different experience than described here. </p>
<p>He has increased his understanding about the differences between the haves and have nots and recognizes many of the privileged students cluelessness about their advantages. While he has developed a taste for a couple of nicer things, overall he remains a down to earth young man. He sometimes doesn’t feel he fits in with some of the students, who aren’t boastful about their situations, but simply are unaware of their station in life, interested in Ibanking etc. My s sees how the majority of the campus does not identify with the 99% and therefore have different interests and politics. However, an upside is seeing this side of life has demonstrated to my s that he can aspire to some of these privileges as he makes choices leaving college and embarks on his professional life while remaining true to himself, ie. no interest in banking jobs…</p>
