It seems that most of the students at CC are from wealthy east coast families. This may be true, but there are many exceptions. My roommate freshman year grew up in the Ivory Coast, Zimbabwe, Turkey, Egypt, and so many other places I can't remember. Another friend grew up in Panama and continues to do Panamanian folk dancing.
