Uhm you're convincing me in the opposite direction, I'm sure you didn't intend to but... :p
Okay, wealthy background, have totally had it with that. And not talking about politics? I always talk about politics. always. Always. So nyah. And, you know, you may be right about the community thing, but in my experience friends are where you look for them- and I don't think I'd find them at College House.
I wouldn't mind the traditions, actually- gowns two nights a week, so what, you should see what I have to wear every freaking day here... ;) I like tradition, I agree, it gives character. But... I've spent seven years immersed in tradition and character and it's been great but I'm over it. And to me, that tradition is symbolic of a lot of other stuff that I would describe as.. let me see. Okay, it's clique-y. Private school-y. If you like that, fine, but in my fairly broad experience of private schools and my slightly less broad but not all that minimal experience of the similar at university, basically what it turns out is clones, very well-presented attractive hard-working intellegent people with neither passion nor conscience- by which I do not mean that they are bad people, they are just people who do not care. I do not want another year in that atmosphere.
And by the way, my prior knowledge of your own political opinions is not helping. ;)
