<p>I think one thing that I’ve learned since coming to college is that all of these questions are pretty much irrelevant. </p>
<p>At any ivy/ivy-caliber school you’ll be able to find professors concerned with teaching and professors not so concerned with it. At every school, you’ll be able to find large classes and small, personal classes (this also depends on what you major in, typically humanities majors benefit from seminar style learning a bit more quickly than quantitative majors). Finally, you can generally make your course load as challenging or as easy as you want. You will also learn upon reaching college that you may not care about doing homework (this revelation may surprise you at first, but this lackadaisical mentality is actually quite common on ivy campuses). </p>
<p>Ultimately what it comes down to is which school has clubs you’re most interested in. Which school has a campus that you find unconditionally beautiful, even on the nasty ugly days. Which school could you see making your home for the next four years. And be honest with yourself. There are tons of people I know at Stanford, Harvard, and even here at Yale who chose where they are based on the name or irrelevant questions like your own and are very unhappy with their decision.</p>
<p>I advise you visit, analyze your feelings, and go from there :).</p>
