IVY League & NESCAC

Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia University

<p>Everyone always refers to the NESCAC (New England Small College Athletic Conference) schools as the "Little Ivies". So I was wondering, Which are the corresponding schools? For example, which is the "Harvard of NESCAC"? Obviously this is all opinion and just for fun, but I was curious to see what others thought. Ivy consists of Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, UPenn, Princeton, and Yale. NESCAC consists of 11 schools (Amherst, Bates, Bowdoin, Colby, Colorado College, Hamilton, Middlebury, Trinity, Tufts, Wesleyan, and Williams) but I'm only including the top 9, to make this easier (Sorry Trinity and Colorado College). So below is my table. Give me your thoughts. </p>

<p>Harvard = Williams
Princeton = Amherst (both have the "old boy" network)
Yale = Middlebury (Midd was actually founded by a former Yale President)
University of Pennsylvania = Bowdoin (Great school that everyone always forgets) Columbia = Wesleyan (Most liberal of both conferences)
Dartmouth = Hamilton
Cornell = Bates (Great school nagged by its reputation as one of the easiest to get in within the conference)
Brown = Tufts or Colby (not entirely sure why, just feels right)</p>

<p>Again, no offense intended, Please don't attack me for creating this fun game.</p>

<p>Yes I know it’s Connecticut College, not Colorado College. Just a stupid (non-think) error that CC won’t let me correct.</p>

3

<p>i think:
dartmouth = bowdoin
upenn = colgate</p>

4

<p>i mean:
dartmouth = bowdoin (heavy drinking culture in cold isolated places)
upenn = bucknell (pre professional even though they try not to be)</p>

<p>I’m not going to attack you for making this “fun game” but ***? Is this fun for you? For the love of God, CC should never be about fun.</p>

6

<p>Did you cross-post this in every Ivy and NESCAC forum? Unbelievable…</p>

<p>It isn’t fun when your observations are so unforgivably wrong.</p>
