I got the same feedback, too. People heard the name of the school and immediately thought I was bankrupting my parents (um, major scholarships and loans I paid back, thanks) and since I was the first person from my town ever to go there they didn't really get the whole "learning" thing.

But I went and it was fantastic. Being there gave me the confidence to be intelligent without letting that one aspect of my personality define me. I wasn't THE smart girl anymore, so I could be other things as well. At the same time, being smart was really valued and encouraged.

Go and have a great time! When they try to bring you down, just say that you're confident you can handle it and leave it at that.
