Saint Edward’s University Top Questions

Additionally, there is a real sense of "keeping up with the Jones'" at this campus. Many students come from wealthy backgrounds (Mercedes, iPhones, Lofts, Blackberries, Louis Vuition, Spring Break in Europe.)

That I, being conservative, feel totally overwhelmed by my peers AND my teachers politically; both in the classroom and out of it.
