Is a university education still a dividing line between the proletariat and the well bred?

Saturday, October 30th, 2010
Randy asked:


I have just been listening to Billy Joel’s “The Longest Time” in which he is reminiscing about his high school days. The video is overwhelmingly vulgar and reeks of lower class sentimentality. I cannot imagine such a vid being made in a university graduation setting. But that was in the past. Do proletarians now proceed to university? And where is the last refuge of the genteel classes?

AcePhoenix asked:


I am in the Nanotechnology Engineering program at the University of Waterloo, which is the best engineering program at the best engineering institution in Canada.

I am planning to take some of my pre-med courses like Biology and Immunology at my University. Would it make a difference if my university is not that well known for undergraduate studies in sciences? Or does my MCAT score compensate for the quality of my university?
