Given the increase in aid allowing more lower-income students to attend Ivy League schools, I thought this article presented an interesting view into the challenges they face once on campus.
I was solidly middle class growing up and went to an average public high school and was generally exposed only to people of my same SES. I was not even close to being a lower-income student but even I remember feeling out of place at my selective private university because for the first time I was exposed to kids my age with a level of wealth I could not appreciate.
