Where's the beef?

I don't believe this campus has an East Coast/Midwest divide. In reality, students congregate around those with whom they feel comfortable, which needn't be based on geography. Friends are forged from similar backgrounds, personality traits, drug habits, etc.\nThat said, I do believe there's a nice/jerk divide that has nothing to do with where you lived before. I've been here for four years. I wish I had more friends from all over, but face it: A lot of you are jerks. From east to west, north to south, left to right, here and abroad, forget cultural stereotypes: We're just massive jerks to people we don't know. It doesn't need to be this way. We don't need to drudge up cultural stereotypes, we need etiquette classes.
