Brett

they are so jewish and jappy. i came from a mostly white waspy public high school and i was jewish. there was culture shock when i came to gw. never in my life have i've seen people so conceited. some people think they're still in high school. but if you get past that (most people can not and will not) then you'll find a lot of better people. And most people hate the population that you think is mainly gw. the stereotype is jewish from NY, NJ or MA. and i fit that but i am so different from most the people, it scares me there are people like that.
