<p>Hobart and William Smith would also take up two tables.</p>
<p>Duke, Dartmouth, Brown, Stanford, Penn, Princeton - The smart kids who were cool and had fun</p>
<p>slipper.. what on earth does that mean?... you're out of your league, man</p>
<p>No, I agree with slipper completely.</p>
<p>Northwestern and University of Chicago, because the Windy City is the greatest city on Earth!!! (It's like Mount Olympus, every other college tries to get a seat at this table, but there's only room for two, sorry) :)</p>
<p>"and Bob Jones actually takes up 2 tables; one for the males and one for the females. with chaperones sitting in between. ;x"</p>
<p>haha yess</p>
<p>actually, hilary, you left something out completely.... seperate tables for white girls, white boys, black girls, black boys. I think the orientals have to eat in another room entirely. I believe the standing policy is still of no inter-racial dating. </p>
<p>and hormesis.. im NU bound, i barely chose it over Chicago... the two schools would sit nowhere near each other. Professors and students at either school described the difference as "Night and Day"... chicago is much more studious, intellectual, nerdy (if you will)... NU is more social, motivated, and, to be brutally honest, prettier.</p>
<p>And meanwhile, Wheaton College (IL) is seated by couples, with rings on each of their fingers.</p>
<p>UCLA is fiddling with chemistry tools and gadgets at their lunch table, and it's heavily overpopulated. Meanwhile, Berkeley is at their table making poster signs for their next protest to save the wild indigenous plants of Zanzanibaritania.</p>
<p>Wisconsin would be at the bar trying to get Michigan and Northwestern's attention</p>
<p>Sorry, theCity, add Northwestern to that list</p>
<p>TheCity: "the two schools would sit nowhere near each other."</p>
<p>Yes, the schools are completely different (and BTW you will find many studious, intellectual and nerdy students at NU as well - wait til you attend for a while) but your statement implies there is no interaction from members of both which is not true. My point was Chicago the city. The greatest overlap in applicants with Northwestern is the University of Chicago and they split them 50-50. If they sat nowhere near each other, no one would apply to both. My point was two wonderful universities around the marvelous city of Chicago.</p>
<p>Notre Dame and USC would be throwing punches against each other.</p>

<p>More like the kids who keep TELLING themselves how cool they are! ;)</p>
<p>Oh, and Stanford and Princeton don't really fit into your little category.. as much as I'm sure you appreciate the positive assoication that having them in there creates, the osmosis effect doesn't apply to higher education! :P :D :P</p>
<p>What on earth are you talking about?? The "osmosis effect"?? This is just a silly game...Nobody is ranking by prestige here...You have to admit that the kids at Stanford and Princeton are much more normal/laid back than those at Harvard and Yale. They are much more similar to kids at Duke, Dartmouth, Brown, and Penn... I have been to a lot of these schools (I have friends at them) and they'd definitely agree.</p>
<p>CCNY (City College of New York) portrays gritty urban realism. Along with his cousin from Brooklyn, they were invited to spend time with Oxford (via Rhodes) but are generally ignored. They keep to themselves and like it that way.</p>
<p>Though CCNY and Brooklyn are from the same place as Columbia and NYU, their lives have taken different paths.</p>
<p>"Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Princeton -- the smart kids who are also doing their homework at lunch... but its the homework thats due next month..."</p>
<p>I disagree. Judging by the people I know going to these schools, its last month's homework :-P They just get away with it better.</p>
<p>"Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, Caltech... the cool, rich, sophisticated kids"</p>
<p>This must be the first time I've seen MIT, Caltech, and "cool" in the same phrase.</p>
<p>The girls... in birkenstocks... Smith, Sarah Lawrence, Wesleyan,</p>
<p>This is a fun thread.</p>
<p>Brown, Columbia, University of Chicago, UC Berkeley, Swarthmore, Wesleyan - the OP hit the nail on the head with this grouping. All six places seem to be comprised of many intellectual and politically active students. When I went to Ride the Tide (Swarthmore's admit weekend), many of the kids there including myself were deciding between Swat and at least one of the others.</p>
<p>UC-Boulder and U Vermont- the stoners :P</p>
