I was not on scholarship, but I was definitely on the lower economic end of the non-scholarship students, and it does change your relationship to money, though it’s hard to notice that while it’s happening
Would you mind elaborating on this a little? I'm curious because I just sent my 5-year old off to an expensive school in which I'm sure we're the "economic diversity" end of the spectrum (the upper end being movie producers and hedge fund owners). While I'm sure he'll get a great academic education, I'm still not sure what to make of this social aspect. It is very far from my experience.
