I suppose there is actually a genre of films/books set in posh unis - in fact you could probably even identify a sub-genre in which a hard-working and smart scholarship boy or working class kid or whatever despite his intellectual achievements is completely out of his depth in the flash social whirl of Oxford/Harvard etc and is corrupted by the decadent, drug-addled, beautiful millionaires and middle-eastern royalty that he now finds himself rubbing shoulders with... until they throw inevitably grow bored and throw him aside.
Off the top of my head here is a quick list of books/films in those posh universities which seem to hold such attraction to those on the outside - what have I missed?
Brideshead Revisited - Evelyn Waugh
Decline and Fall (to some extent) - Evelyn Waugh
I Am Charlotte Simmons - Tom Wolfe
Rules of Attraction - Brett Easton Ellis (I think that's at a posh college, can't quite remember)
The Secret History - Donna Tart
Salturn - film, but is there a book as well?
Clique - did anyone watch this tv show shot at Edinburgh University? Apparently if this show is to be believed then Edinburgh must be by far THE most glamorous in the wrold
Started intrigueingly but sadly ran out of steam rather quickly and was ultimately a bit of a mess sadly
What have I missed, there must be loads? I never really about it before but it's a genre I rather like come to thing of it..
