Depends what school you attend + what classes. There are most definitely going to see rich little snobs, but they usually start failing classes and then you don't need to worry about them eventually. I've had a case where this happened. One kid continually boasted about how he was gonna become dux and he always rubbed into other people's faces that he has scholarship (him trying to express his superiority). After all that he comes straight into classes averaging 60-70% grades. But he still kept on boasting- a few terms go by he tries to cheat his way to get more time during assignments and the teachers caught on.

Bro now that I'm reflecting on this, I feel like this isn't the right school for me lmfao

I thought that was true too before I swapped. Sure there are a few people that show off their wealth, but the vast majority are actually quite humble and friendly. And no cap I feel like seeing the minority showing off their houses, luxury items etc just motivates me to work harder (as I am from a middle class family).

Yeah I bought about 6 pairs of airpods and 2 pairs of pros bc I wanted to try and fit in (I only bought a lot bc I kept losing them and then refinding them after I buy a new one). Then it was apple watches, then it was this and that... One trhing I learned from that was.. nobody cared, it was just that tyhey could afford them.

do the facilities matter that much-- even if you had a scholarship it's still 10-15k/yr which i find crazy
uniform probably stupidly expensive too

Nah I only did it to fit it... Du is still expensive, but it fits my style of studies and the environemnt is perfect in my opinion and hence why I do it despite its demanding asking price.

Bro no way in fk is the women's uniform more 💀 We're talking (In private schools) Men have to wear formal shirt, shoes, socks, hat, blazer, coat(approx 300 alone), tie, etc. In private schools I think all they were is the dress and blazer which is way less. ALthough this maydiffer from school to school.
