<p>"Penn and Princeton are probably the two preppiest schools. I go to penn and i can tell you if you don't wear armani, versace, burberry, prada, coach, louis vuitton, lacoste, etc. you're nothing. Don't even try to wear **** like banana, j crew, abercrombie."</p>
<p>armani, versace, prada, etc... are more trendy than they are preppy. i love burberry and louis vuitton though.. i want a burberry purse, they're so cute w/ the plaid!</p>
<p>Southern Methodist</p>
<p>They call Villanova "Vanillanova." It's that preppy.</p>
<p>The preppiest state school is definitely UVA, just because it's ranked the best state school and therefore attracts all those Ivy League rejects.</p>
<p>definitely Georgetown(my school), Penn, and Princeton. I heard about the preppiness of Gtown before I even landed on the campus. I didn't even know what a popped collar was until I got there. There are TONS of people wearing lacoste, ralph lauren, armani, etc. Then you have the pseudo preps(myself included,lol) that wear abercrombie and american eagle. Don't even think about wearing aeropostale. It doesn't help that there are american eagle, abercrombie, j crew, polo ralph lauren, etc. within walking distance from campus. Then, they're opening a Lacoste store right on M Street(the main shopping/restaurant/bar district within walking distance from Gtown. When that opens, it's going to be madness,lol. The stores are already expensive on M street and Wisconsin Ave. Many people always say that whenever they walk on M and Wisconsin, they feel poor,lol.</p>
<p>Then there's Penn, which has a similar student body to Gtown, at least from what I've seen(i visited a friend in Wharton) and heard(I'm applying to Penn for transfer, and she said if I get in and she see's me w/ a popped collar and flip flops, she won't talk to me, LOL).</p>
<p>How could people forget Emory in there?Mostly all the prep clothes are worn by everyone,there is non-preps but it's up there on preppiest school list.</p>
<p>I think it comes down to Gtown, and Miami (OH) for the finals. Now who wins out of those two, who knows??</p>
<p>I must say that preppy people sicken me to the core. Good thing we don't have too many at Stanford. I hate snobbish, shallow people who pop their collars and judge people by how trendy and expensive their clothes are. I can just tell these people are going to be heartless conservatives later on.</p>
<p>Wow..you guys are definitely blowing things out of proportion; I was at Harvard Square just recently and most people were pretty casual. Give me a break, people; most Amercian college students, even the ones in the elite colleges, wear very casually. We are not in Milan/Paris.</p>

<p>ok.. who's judging whom? that would be like me saying "i hate goths" but i'm not that shallow.</p>
<p>Colgate definitely has more than its share of the popped collars, white terry cloth mini skirts, stilettos in winter, guys in trendy pink shirts. Not sure if that's everyone's definition of preppy, but it sure looks like it to me.</p>
<p>University Of Vermont</p>
<p>Are you guys serious?<br>
THe preppiest colleges are small, expensive liberal arts colleges. No doubt.
-there are more kids getting into the school bc they can pay full tuition and went to prep schools (applicant is better looking (i.e. ecs, study abraod, etc)). At ivy's and places like USC, there are more minorities and socioeconomic diversity than at any preppy LAC. Therefore, a higher percentage of kids at small, expensive LACs are preppy rich ***heads. Believe me, it's true. </p>
<p>That said... the most preppy colleges in the nation are:
St. Lawrence
Hamilton
Franklin & Marshall
Sewanee
Trinity (CT)
Lafayette
Williams
Claremont McKenna
etc.</p>
<p>William and Mary</p>
<p>yeah small LACs for sure. Babson a small business oriented school is another. I notice the trend of "small" when it comes to the most preppy.</p>
<p>Although there are larger schools such as USC, Georgetown, the Ivies etc... that have their fair share of preppy students, since the student body is larger there is a higher chance that there will also be kids from different socioeconomic backgrounds which includes the wealthy and also not so wealthy.</p>
<p>Without a doubt, Trinity College in Hartford CT is one of the top preppy colleges in America. The thing about Trinity is that it attracts the true preps who have jumped right out of "The Official Preppy Handbook". We have been educated at the finest preperatory schools, have leaned proper ettiquete and have been members at the most exclusive country clubs since as far back as our familiy name goes. At Trinity this way of life is highly predominant and can be seen through clothing, sports, nightlife. While there are few who diverge from the norm, this is to be expected as an admissions comittee always tries to create a diverse class.
As a true prep, we wear brands such as Lilly Pullitzer, Lacoste, Polo, CK Bradley (a trin alum), Leatherman and JCrew. Abercrombie, Hollister, and American Eagle are all immitations and a sad excuse for "prep wear".
The school's squash team has been ranked #1 in the nation for 6 years in a row, the crew team is up and coming, and the Equestrian team is giving larger schools such as UCONN and Brown a run for their money.
At Trin drinking is a staple for nightime entertainment. Although the school is self contained (as it is in the ghetto and all) there is an abundance of things to do. While pledging for greek life is not high up on everyone's list, the majority of students tend to make one of the frats their destination for the night. Only at trin, and at a certain frat that shall remain nameless, do the brothers consistantly walk around with large bottles of champagne. Hard liquor most definetly prevails over beer, and its tr</p>
<p>Um i think a few of u have your preppy brands mixed up. While everyone loves a louis vuitton, prada, or even Dior bag, they are not considered prep attire, but rather JAPwear. A true prep aims to be descrete about their appearance. They want to be clean cut and look nice, definetly not showy. Their family name, place of origin, and education should be enough to recognize their prestige. Tacking famous lables all over themselves is not only in poor taste but completely against the definition of PREP.</p>
<p>any private, northeastern LAC that accepts students with average stats. Maybe not popped collars, but definlity not hoodies.</p>
<p>It's the self-satisfied smugness of Equestrian01 which gives preps a bad name.....and people used to transfer to Trinity on the Twelve College Exchange for one year of R and R.....it was referred to as "Camp Trin"....</p>
<p>Yeah Trinity is not prep central by any means. Be happy you don't get mugged while walking the streets of Hartford,CT.</p>
<p>Mr. equestrian through his post shows that Trinity is full of old time, expired Prepsters who would scoff at the likes of Prada, Armani, Dolce Gabanna etc... all because they trie to put the sweater around their necks and proudly call themselves the prepsters of old.</p>
<p>Oh yeah Equestrian for your information I know one of the players on Trintiy's squash team and he isn't a preppy.</p>
<p>Trinity is the psuedo preppy haven where the kids think being old school and discreet is the new wave. Last place to flaunt the wealth is Hartford,CT oh well sucks for you Equestrian.</p>
<p>Definitely the small New England LACs. Case in point: Connecticut College.</p>
