<p>This is so helpful you guys. I’m a huge social activist as well and I want a school with a good social life- but I’m not so much into the whole beer pong thing. I really love Columbia. I visited NY for a month last year and Harlem really isn’t all that scary…in the daytime. Plus, Marc Jacobs, nightclubs, and food stores galore really make for the best place ever…I mean, it’s NY!!</p>
<p>But I was wondering about the other Ivies…I’ve heard that UPENN is kind of..pretentious, or blue-blooded and rich. Which would make sense to me because they seem to have a very high admittance rate for legacies. </p>
<p>Right now, the ivies that I’m considering are Columbia and Yale. I’ve heard that Cornell is really science/engineering oriented, UPENN=wealthy elitists, Darthmouth- beer pong, way too much greek life, Harverd= nerdy,nerdy, Brown= druggies, hippies, artists, writers</p>
<p>Obviously, I am totally stereotyping and if you guys could comment on my ‘stereotypes’ and perhaps how true( or not) they are, it would be helpful.</p>
