This is kinda OT but why are so many people so reluctant to post where they go to school?

a fairly high percentage of 2+2'ers go to very elite schools and are afraid to sound pretentious? A possibility.

I think that a lot of people in general are reluctant to say where they went to school as people will automatically judge them. This can obviously be a good or bad thing, but it even gets to the point of annoying when I tell people I go to Stanford.

Their mouth drops and they look at me as if I'm some god. I use to think it was cool for a bit but I tend to say that I go to college in the Bay Area now. Even if I'm going to get extra points for that, I'd rather be judged for the work I do and the way I carry myself--not what school I go to.
