Middlebury, Yale, Stanford, Princeton, Brown, Dartmouth, Amherst, Pomona, Claremont McKenna, Swarthmore, Vanderbilt, Rice, UC Berkeley, Vassar, Northwestern, Emory, UVA, William & Mary, and Oberlin</p>
<p>The Basics:
-Female senior living in southern CT
-Jewish, half middle-eastern
-Divorced parents...One is upper-middle class, one is lower-middle class. My family has suffered with financial issues my whole life. At my mom's house, we often can't afford to put the heat up in the winter, for example. Also, we have had a tenant living in half of the first floor of my house for about 6 years. Another tidbit: I have moved 8 times in my life (in the same state)</p>
