Actually, you're a bit too far Southwest. It must be Boston, you say. This new Mecca for the children of the ultra-rich and famous is Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.

Although President Gregorian denies concentrated recruiting of such upper echelon families, Brown's admissions staff have packed their bags for all the best schools the Mediterranean elite have to offer. Since Gregorian took the reigns of the university in 1989, Brown has stepped up recruiting at the upscale foreign prep schools.
