<p>Hinderpanda posed and excellent, and I'm essentially copying it for some other schools.</p>
<p>What are they known for? Their distinguishing features?
Are any of them really significantly more "preppy" or "cliquey" or "quirky" or more "studious" than others?</p>
<p>I'm just curious as to what people think of/know about these schools.
The list below is really long, so feel free to pick a couple you know well and talk about it.</p>
<p>Harvard
Dartmouth
Yale
Princeton
Penn
Columbia
Brown
Cornell</p>

<p>Stanford
Duke
UChicago
MIT
Caltech</p>
