<p>Not sure being secular or having moderate academic demands necessarily increase the number of brattiness vats. </p>
<p>Saw plenty of brattiness vats at BC…and heard plenty of rants/complaints from colleagues who lived near/around its Newton campus. Also witnessed/heard about numerous such vats at other religious colleges of various denominations…including some conservative religious ones (Some of those Evangelical students are real contenders in the brattiness department…especially to those they perceive as not being of “their kind”). . </p>
<p>As for moderate academic demands being a factor…saw plenty of such vats at Columbia and seen/heard plenty of such at nearly every elite college/university not known for “moderate workloads”. </p>
<p>One memorable encounter involved an extremely ornery undergrad who screamed at me because he mistook me for a TA in some intro history class who gave him a C on an essay. Let’s just say I don’t react well to rude people…especially those with an inflated sense of entitlement.</p>
