I’m currently dating a man who graduated from the same university as a proud, pedigreed announcer in his 40s—someone who left his TV program over executive compensation and the desire to go freelance, attended the same school from kindergarten through university, and even commutes to work in a chauffeured car. As expected, I can sense in his words and actions that he has a strong sense of pride and sees himself as different from everyone else.

I apologize if any of the respondents are graduates of that university.
Do graduates of Professor Fukuzawa’s university really believe they’re superior to graduates of Professor Okuma’s university, and that they come from a different upbringing and bloodline?

I think it comes down to individual personality and differences in emotional maturity.
Based on your question, you yourself seem quite focused on titles and brand names, so you may end up meeting people like that as well.

So he’s the announcer Minoru Aoi. If he was accepted to Keio, I suppose even a rich kid like him must have worked hard.
One of my friends, who graduated from the University of Tokyo, is incredibly humble and a genuinely nice person, so I guess it really depends on the individual.
I’d want to stay humble even after becoming successful, and I prefer to keep my distance from people who come across as unpleasant.

I think that person is simply an insecure idiot when it comes to other important things.
Their lack of confidence probably comes across as being overly proud.
Unless tuition becomes free, I think people from both schools realize that, compared with the universities they couldn’t get into, they’re still just backup options. They also understand quite well that if they had the chance to attend a better university, most people wouldn’t choose either of those schools as a backup.
Maybe that’s why I feel that relatively few celebrities who went to either school are particularly boastful about it.

My alma mater isn’t affiliated with a university, but whenever we have a reunion, the “Red Gate crowd” tends to act superior. The graduates of the university you’re referring to are generally pretty reserved. They may act arrogant elsewhere, but basically, they’re good people. For the record, I went to a regional university, so I’m even more low-key—but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with attending reunions.
In the end, I’d say how strong someone’s pride is probably comes down to their personality, don’t you think?!

That’s a matter of personality, not education（笑）
I don’t know if it was some kind of escalator-style university or whatever, but for a guy over 40, that’s just the story of the first half of his life. Who he is now is shaped by everything, including the second half. In that sense, I think it’s wrong to judge a man by his educational background.
To look at it from the opposite angle, after getting to know women in their 20s who had graduated from high school or vocational school through a dating club, I was reminded that intelligence—meaning wisdom as a person—and educational background aren’t correlated. You could maybe say there’s a correlation if you limit it to calculation skills and verbal memory, though.
