I have a question about a college being "too preppy"

Thanks all. A thought/ questions: Can someone be both preppy and intellectual or both preppy and artsy? Thoughts?

Of course! Preppy ≠ shallow.

Off the top of my head, preppy intellectuals: Digby Baltzell, Paul Fussell, F. Scott Fitzgerald,

Preppy artists: Tory Birch, Garry Trudeau, Katharine Hepburn, M. Night Shyamalan.
