<p>What are currently considered the "preppy" shools?</p>
<p>The Ivy League.</p>
<p>other than the ivy league?</p>
<p>Trinity, Conn College…probably a fair # of southern schools</p>
<p>UVa, holy **** I’ve been here for two nights and you’re pretty much not accepted if you go out in non preppy attire</p>
<p>Amherst, Bowdoin, Vassar, etc + lots of top LAC’s in New England.</p>
<p>My conjecture, of course.</p>
<p>But the search function works well too.</p>
<p>@OP: I love this thread, was going to start a similar one but didnt want to seem rude.</p>
<p>@m4dskillz07: Seriously? UVA is banned from my List.
@tristan101: How preppy is Amherst and Bowdoin ? I was strongly considering to apply to both… They are amazing schools.</p>
<p>If your idea of dressing up includes sweatpants, don’t consider applying to Washington and Lee. It is definitely one of the preppiest schools in the nation.</p>
<p>UVA, definitely. I think it’s a soceital thing. EVERYONE there is preppy. I don’t mind it much, I still want to attend:)</p>
<p>I mean it’s really ridic to not attend a uni based on what people who attend wear…haha.</p>
<p>Davidson certainly has a fair bit of double pop/lax bro going on. But sweats are exempt from judgment because a high percentage of the students are in athletics.</p>
<p>Vanderbilt. I love it here and all, but it’s ultra prep which I’m not used to</p>
<p>Surprised no one mentioned Notre Dame first.</p>
<p>Top LACs in New England, Boston College, Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Northeastern, Stanford, Northwestern, Georgetown.</p>
<p>Any SEC school.</p>
<p>University of Southern California</p>
<p>Really? Northwestern? It didnt seem very ‘preppy’
[Sorry, I don’t mean to hijack this thread]
How preppy are these colleges: 1)Oberlin 2)Grinnell 3)Carelton 3)Pomona 4)McKenna 5)Reed</p>
<p>@goodwood I thought the same thing when I heard that last year, I had it near the bottom of the list. Its sad to say that I have conformed into preppiness and now I love it. People dressing up to go out is actually a ton of fon</p>
<p>@m4dskillz07: Seriously? But if the definition of preppy out here is simply wearing branded clothes, then I seem to have mistook the term, I guess… I thought it lended itself to pride, uptightedness… snobbishness… etc</p>
<p>Miami University (Ohio) otherwise known as “J Crew U”</p>
<p>Colgate, W&L, Davidson, Holy Cross, Bowdoin, UVA.</p>
