Default Re: Duke Lacrosse Team Story

As a former Duke student, I'll definitely confirm the isolation from the community. Note that I'm not rich - middle class at best and I paid my way via scholarships and loans. But the way the financial aid system worked, if you had a car, a large percentage of the blue book value got deducted from your financial aid. This tended to keep a lot of students on campus.

That said, there are certainly a lot of rich, spoiled kids having out of control parties and it wouldn't surprise me if the lacrosse team belonged in that group.
