I had a hard time remembering that DuPont was supposed to be in the "upper, upper" echelon of colleges; up there with Harvard. I wonder if athletes are worshipped so avidly at schools like that? Or if there is really such shame in being a "brain"? Or if there is really so much friction between greeks and non-greeks. I always figured the attitude at such places is, "you were able to get in, so you're one of us."

The way he wrote the book, it felt to me like DuPont was soemwhere along the lines of U Michigan or Duke. A very good school, but not the tippy-top of the foodchain.

I would have liked to have seen Charlotte's roommate Beverly developed a little more.

In a school of uber smart people, why wasn't Charlotte respected more for her brains? It wasn't until she started dating Jojo that she gained some respect. But, then, maybe that was on purpose.

I had to force myself to finish reading the scene where Charlotte and Beverly and their families went to the Sizzlin' Skillet to eat. It was cringe-inducing!
