<p>The Nard-dog went to Cornell and he seems pretty happy. (Especially after anger management)</p>
<p>You guys realize that in 2010 Columbia simultaneously had the cool president, a Columbia band had a number one album, a Columbia director won an Oscar, and the acceptance rate was basically the same as Harvard’s? </p>
<p>It doesn’t get cooler.</p>
<p>I think its more like four of them are cool and the other four are meh. the cool ones being Brown Columbia Dartmouth and Yale.</p>
<p>^ ditto. Brown Columbia Dartmouth and Yale so cool.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>you’ve obviously never been there.
first of all, the suicide rate is a complete myth.
yeah you’d be miserable here if you didn’t ever let loose…but the majority of people realize that, and it’s a work hard party harder atmosphere most of the time. i mean there’s a ton of parties tonight, and its the middle of finals.</p>
<p>Ithaca is actually what makes Cornell great…its really not as tiny as people think, but its a small city with more restaurants per capita than NYC, a collegetown with bars catered just for Cornell students, and a street in the commons with more headshops than i’ve ever seen in my life (i think there’s six on one street). </p>
<p>Because the city is pretty small, the entire school culture is focus on certain areas, so everyone knows everyone and you always see people you know, yet you still always meet new people since the school is so large. </p>
<p>Its really one of the most state-school like atmospheres, a large student body, friendly college town surrounding area, huge greek life, etc. The only other one that comes close is Penn, but the city aspect totally devalues that…the social life is transferred to bars and clubs around the city rather than on/right next to campus. This is really expensive…fake ids and bar tabs? Cornell is like the mecca of free alcohol. </p>
<p>I wanted to be in a city for college, but I’m so glad I came here since the campus/greek/collegetown experience is limited to college, and i can go to grad school or work in a city and go to bars and clubs then.</p>
<p>I never thought “state-school like atmosphere” and “huge greek life” were appealing descriptions but what the **** do I know.</p>
<p>Ithaca’s chill though.</p>
<p>Northwestern</p>
<p>Poison Ivy… </p>
<p>The way it makes you itch all over makes it pretty cool in my book…</p>
<p>
Ahem.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>^your location is … teehee</p>
<p>really, I can’t say that?</p>
<p>ok</p>
<p>well look at the location through the eyes of a 5th grader</p>
<p>Trying to be objective here, the coolest Ivy is probably either Brown (if one is into the chill, relaxed, maybe-even-hipster-y college life) or Columbia (because it’s in New York City). Though I didn’t apply to either of them since I wasn’t into either for a variety of reasons, I think that those two are the two Ivies that people think of when thinking ‘cool’.</p>
<p>What do you mean by “coolest” Do you mean temperature wise? haha jk just playing devil’s advocate. </p>
<p>I would honestly say that Brown is probably the coolest ivy right now. Small teacher-student ratio, large focus on undergraduate education, and people there definitely party. I’m not saying it’s some state school, but during the weekends if you’re down to party you’ll find what you’re looking for. I also think that a lot of students are really laid back and down to chill. You won’t find many people in a rush, and a lot of professors are really out there in your interest.</p>
<p>Why all the Cornell dissing? Just curious because I see a lot of that and then a lot of over-compensation by Cornell students on here.</p>
<p>Well out of all the Ivy league schools, Cornell has the highest acceptance rate. It isn’t by like 1 or 2% either. It’s like 25%</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>STOP NECRoING!!11</p>
<p>EDIT: bt-dubs meadow, have you and ChoklitRain been hanging out all the times at UPenn :b</p>
<p>If only I knew who he was I totally would :P</p>
<p>I’ve seen klee twice though.</p>
<p>Only one I’ve visited is Dartmouth, and let me tell you the are definitely not the coolest. From what I could tell the students were all ******bags, I was also really surprised how stupid the tour guide was, I think he was an athlete…
I want to look at Cornell though so yeah.</p>
<p>^Probably because you’re a dweeb.</p>
<p>PENNN by a mile.
Doesn’t really have much of a negative to it (used to be location, but it’s sorted itself out). People truly rock the work hard,play hard. Admittedly, the work load won’t be as intense (for most, the dual degree+engineering people have it different though) as Princeton or Cornell - but not the least (cough cough Brown, Dartmouth). They present themselves as chilled, international, sporty (or at least interested) and they party hard (springfling). It’s the social ivy. </p>
<p>Brown is for chill people. But perhaps too chill, maybe with low aspirations? (sorry but you’re smoking up all the time and refuse to challenge yourselves…). Hates Harvard for being generally incredibly ******y. </p>
<p>Harvard attracts the A-Types, which are more often than not extremely obnoxious+socially awkward or downright nerdy. </p>
<p>Yale is for nice people who like to argue, but it’s more for the shy, and the people aren’t quite as socially vibrant. </p>
<p>Columbia is pretty cool, but pretty hipster and too political. They take themselves too seriously with all the protests. There’s not on campus life, and it’s just so individualistic.</p>
<p>Princeton is the home of the socially awkward, try-hard types. People who think money compensates for personality, and people who try and “party” and tell everyone about it. Probably the worst out of all. </p>
<p>Dartmouth - pretty cool I would say, but the frat scene can get a bit too much like Animal House, and just a bit ridiculous. The isolation also attracts a certain kind of person I think, and the republican nature of the school certainly doesn’t give it points.</p>
<p>Cornell - Not actually sure, but the workload seems intense and the students aren’t as bright as their peer schools. Rep for suicides isn’t great either.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure cool ivy is an oxymoron…</p>
