Yes it's really picture perfect: a beautiful campus with supportive professors where intellectualism and wealth hang in the air. Though diverse in its pursuits, the student body tends towards socioeconomic homogeneity. If you aren't wealthy you have at least one other job to try and maintain the status quo. Many students live life intensely and model the phrase 'work hard play hard'. College may only be four years but graduates stay connected forever, which offers an extensively powerful network to current students.
