Elitism At St Andrews University

And these silly people who act in this way, they fail to realise it's their parents with the money, they are so far, just the lucky beneficiaries.

A sibling's child/young person is to start at an 'Oxbridge' college, i suppose they already have by now? I can't understand this desire to attend an elite institution, not when their parent, my sibling, they went to a bog standard school and university, but achieved what they consider to be success.

The cloistered university, following on from a cloistered school environment, I don't see how that adequately prepares one for life in multi cultural; in their case, England. But then I suppose that will continue into their career, where again they won't have to rub shoulders with oiks like me.

My daughter has had to work in a supermarket to fund her university education, and she flat shares with a very diverse mix of people, at least one from a poor, Eastern European background. If I had money, or indeed any influence over her life, I wouldn't have it any other way. She is now started her Masters degree, which i have learned recently, is postgraduate level.

Working class people go to the university, but these rich kids from the US and elsewhere, they are attempting to shame them for their humble origins, and inability to partake in the imported sorority/fraternity rubbish. That was the subject of the article.
