brown
harvard
yale

<p>what do you got?</p>

<p>haha i forgot one:
cornell
(i guess that can count as a stereotype)</p>

<p>Harvard, the rich Ivy. (grade inflation, elitist, super-smart)</p>

<p>Princeton, the preppy Ivy. (snotty, elitist, jock, white)</p>

<p>Yale, the blue-blood Ivy. (gay man's ivy, dangerous city, inferiority complex to Harvard & Princeton, but most espically Harvard)</p>

<p>Brown, the liberal Ivy. (hippies, druggies)</p>

<p>Penn, the social Ivy. (Jews, Asians, business majors, pre-professional)</p>

<p>Cornell, the safety Ivy. (greek, depressing, working man's ivy)</p>

<p>Dartmouth, the conservative (greek, outdoors, jock, most republican ivy)</p>

<p>Columbia, the city ivy. (individualists, wear black, smoke)</p>

<p>Cornell, the ivy you randomly drive into late at night after you get lost in upstate NY, and you're just looking for a place to sleep...</p>

<p>I dunno, I think we get enough crap as a lot (ivy leaguers that is), that it almost seems counterproductive to start drawing distinctions</p>

<p>un-pc: cornell is the concubine child of the ivy league</p>

<p>Yeah, thats just about it. MIT is the nerdy Star Trek obessed school; UChicago is the uptight right wing school.</p>

<p>Stanford is the school thats as smart as the Ivies, but doesn't make as big a deal out of it. Of course, I applied there SCEA so I'm probably biased.</p>

<p>I'd say Stanford is as smart, and with a veneer of not making a big deal of it, but secretly goes home to study and cram like mad. Ultimately driven mad by living a life of lies, and also loses points for dishonesty.</p>

<p>And looks like Taco Bell.</p>

<p>A classic, with more than a little validity, and still really funny.</p>

<p>The lightbulb one is awesome, and pretty dead on.</p>

<p>IM</a> conversation between Ivies</p>

<p>I think I'm pretty much the biggest nerd ever 'cause I loved that IM convo, and the lightbulb joke.</p>

<p>I don't get the 6 credits Penn one.</p>

<p>The joke is that Penn = easy/stupid/etc.</p>

<p>HAHAHA that light bulb thing was hilarious.</p>

<p>i agree... these are hilarious. Does anyone have any more?</p>

<p>Cornell has the highest suicide rate. The weather sucks. No wonder the kids there are depressed.</p>

<p>Cornell puts a net under the bridge during the week(s) of finals so that people who jump don't kill themselves. They're heavily suicidal there. :(</p>

<p>Also, surprisingly (or not?), I've heard that roughly half of all Havard students are depressed. <a href="http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=347255%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=347255&lt;/a> :(</p>

<p>Penn is supposed to be the happy school. :)</p>

<p>I don't know anything about the rest. I wish I knew if Yale was happy...</p>
