Ivy Eating Club

<p>How difficult is it to bicker for the Ivy Club? If you do get in, what is the greatest advantage. What goes on here that doesn't in the other clubs? Are there different personalities? How many athletes are members? Thanks!!!</p>

<p>Greatest advantage?
Prestige. Ivy, as far as I know, isn't significantly better than the other clubs when it comes to events, though their exorbitant fees do mean that your meals will be quite good.</p>

<p>The clubs do tend to have general personalities, and Ivy is known for attracting the rich, aspiring, and artsy people.</p>

<p>mzhang23.....harvard's final clubs vs. pton's eating clubs, differences and similarities and are they essential to college life in each of the respective colleges?</p>

<p>I understand that Cloister has quite a few athletes. Are there a few particular sports which contribute more members than others (i.e. crew, soccer, swimming, lax, baseball)?</p>

<p>a lotta them attract a certain type of group but some like colonial is just a mesh of everyone =P</p>

<p>Is there a website that describes each club in detail (rather than history)?</p>

<p>no there is not. the eating clubs arent "made" for a certain group. rather, it attracts a type of group and these things are more stereotypical rather than official.</p>

<p>the bicker clubs are tower, ivy, cap, TI and cottage
tower - newspaper/theatre/political people
ivy - rich/preppy
cap - athletes
TI - football kids and kids that like to drink a lot
cottage - frat/sorority ish</p>

<p>the sign in clubs are colonial, charter, cloister, quad, campus, and terrace
they are really random but certain types usually go to each one =P
charter - a lot of engineers
quad - a lot of asians
colonial - a lot of different ppl
campus - my brother said campus sucks and no one joins
terrace - either gay/lesbian ppl, drug ppl, or ppl who couldn't get into a bicker club</p>

<p>tower looks awesome</p>

<p>the most popular parties are at ivy however. and unless u are a member u can only get in with passes....i hope im in ivy =P</p>

<p>i liked cloister. probably tho cause it was mainly water sports kids, and hey guess what, i'm part of that crowd</p>

<p>yea i wouldnt mind cloister i think im gonna do swim at pton ill see wat i feel like doing =P maybe ill see u there peg!</p>

<p>heck yes, it'll be a blast</p>

<p>shrek, how much are eating clubs on top of tuition? i heard ivy is like $5,000/year. do you play less tuition (room & board) if you go to an eating club? how much are the non-bicker ones?</p>

<p>im pretty sure they are all pretty much the same in price. </p>

<p>i have no idea i dont think the tuition will really be affected that much maybe by a few hundreds</p>

<p>non-bicker and bicker are pretty much the same price varying by a few hundred dollars</p>

<p>I'm not sure if i can afford an eating club</p>

<p>Can someone explain how this whole pricing thing goes? So if you're in an eating club you don't pay for room and board? Or room and board chages are different for different eating clubs... or the 5,000 for ivy, for example, is on top of room and board?</p>

<p>That's what i've read, but i'm not totally sure. maybe shrek can clear it up for us ?</p>

<p>no if ur in an eating club u still pay for room and board</p>

<p>when u are a freshman and sophomore u eat at the residential college, u pay for a meal plan (however many meals u pay for my brother didnt pay for breakfast cuz he didnt wake up)</p>

<p>when u are an upper-classman u move out of the residential college to the upper classmen dorms and then u have 3 options, continute meal plan, self cooking-ness, or eating club. so really it doesnt change much u just dont eat at a residential college anymore and u eat at an eating club =P</p>

<p>but doesn't it cost more to go to an eating club than continuing the meal plan, etc?</p>

<p>i think it costs more just not a significant amount. there are some loser ones like campus that i dont think would cost more but no one goes there =P</p>
