If The West Coast Had Their Own Ivy League.....???

College Search & Selection

<p>I'll take a shot... 8 Ivies so here are my 8 in the West:</p>

<p>UC Berkley
Stanford
Pomona
Reed
Harvey Mudd
Claremont McKenna
Whitman
UCLA</p>

<p>Left Cal Tech out because its not broad-based enough. Harvey Mudd could fall into the same classification but there you can take plenty of Liberal Arts classes at any of the other Claremont Mckenna schools.</p>

<p>Clearly not all have the same level of reputation as the Ivies but In terms of comparable quality of education, I'd feel comfortable with this list.</p>

<p>Why are we calling it Ivy West when, from what you all have said, it should just be "I love Cali and it's the best" universities.</p>

<p>Not to say that Cali is bad, because it does have great colleges, but some diversity would be good.</p>

23

<p>Reed=Oregon
Whitman=Washington
But I do love Cali... :)</p>

24

<p>idk about ivy league, but I think the best in the west are:
Stanford
Cal Tech
UC Berkeley
Ponoma
UCLA
USC
Reed
Harvey Mudd College</p>

<p>The Best in the West has a nice ring to it :)</p>

26

<p>Attributes of the Ivy League: a sports conference, private, between 4,000-15,000 students.</p>

<p>so that knocks out the UCs as well as CalTech and Harvey Mudd.</p>

<p>It would be annoying if Stanford, USC and Pomona just played each other over and over again.</p>

27

<p>Lol..........</p>

28

<p>It would be especially annoying for Pomona. 116-3 never looks good if your school is the 3. </p>

<p>I think everyone realizes that the Ivy League is technically a sports conference but it has come to mean far more than that. I love USC but I don't think students often find themselves torn between USC and, let's say, Princeton or Brown. 'SC is a great school but IMHO not an Ivy-like experience.</p>
