<p>Calm down, no need to get your panties in a bunch. If you’d taken the time to actually read the thread, it’d be pretty clear that lorrainedelis meant to respond to kollegekid1’s post, which was quite silly.</p>

<p>He posted two years ago. I’m sure he’s “calmed down” ;)</p>

<p>At many colleges with a high sticker price in tuition, the international students are the richest ones, because they are often not eligible for any institutional aid. I’d imagine some of the engineering students have their educations funded by their home countries, but others are probably paying full price.</p>

<p>The international students from China were loaded, especially the guys.</p>

<p>There were a lot of well-off people at my old school. I almost hit the floor when I saw limos and foreign luxury cars circulating the campus on every freaking three day weekend. It was insane.</p>

<p>I currently am a freshy at Connecticut…and the guy that lives across the hallway from me is rich. </p>

<p>We did a poll of my dorm floor about the 2nd week of class. Of the 46 people in my floor, 36 of them have both parents making a combined $750,000 or more a year. And only 4 of us on the floor reported that the combined family income is over $1mil a year. The “poll” was taken from the financial information area of our application when we applied to the school. It’s voluntary, but none of us decided to opt out.</p>

<p>My parents both combined to make around $880,000 a year…but we dress no different from everyone else. Heck I drove a 2002 Honda car while in high school and my parents are very strict of sticking within a budget.</p>

<p>I don’t know about east coast private schools, but as far as west coast is concerned, USC immediately comes to mind, but then again, I’m very bias. I’m sure others that aren’t so bias can actually confirm the validity of my statement though. I have a lot of friends as well as 2 family members that have went to USC, and just judging by the cars in the parking lot right when you step on campus, you know it’s not an “average school.”</p>
