“I never want to be in a neighborhood where I’m shot at again.”

“When Mario Martinez went to Liberty University, a private Christian college in Lynchburg, Virginia, the affluence astonished him. A student’s car would break down and she’d have a new one within a couple of weeks. ‘It was mind blowing,’ he said. ‘To see that people can have so much.’ And Liberty – with a median family income of about $75,000 a year – isn’t even that rich compared to what you will find at America’s most prestigious private colleges, where incomes are closer to $200,000 a year or more.”
