  • College Review

    • What is your overall opinion of this school?

       

      Imagine if there was some sort of boarding school for college age kids, rife with cliques and the very worst aspects of high school. And God help you if you aren't on a sports team, because no one else will.

    • Describe the students at your school.

       

      Most people are rich white people, but there are significant numbers of affluent African-Americans, well-off Asian-Americans, and of course wealthy international students.

    • What are the most popular student activities/groups?

       

      Sports teams rule the social scene with an iron fist. In most other campuses this would seem insane, but due to the idiotically high percentage of varsity athletes, it's a brutal fact of life.

    • What is the stereotype of students at your school?

       

      They're preppy, rich, snobby and teach people the valuable lesson that the corrupting materialism of our society reaches all races and religions.
