<p>What are the sterotypes for the 8 different schools? I’ve heard Brown is notoriously a hippy school and Cornell is the ivy-league wannabes. I’d love to hear the generalizations about Penn students!</p>
<p>penn = party ivy</p>
<p>I think I like that stereotype</p>
<p>Penn isn't the party ivy. The only reason why people think penn has parties is because thye think it's penn state.</p>
<p>i heard penn's the social ivy</p>

You would have to not be in the Ivy League in order to qualify as a wannabe. Or else, well, you are in the Ivy League (which is - surprise!! - actually true). And that's it.</p>
<p>Ivy League Lightbulbs:</p>
<ol>
<li>How many Princeton students does it take to change a lightbulb?</li>
</ol>
<p>Two---one to mix the martinis and one to call the electrician.</p>
<ol>
<li>How many Brown students does it take to change a lightbulb?</li>
</ol>
<p>Eleven---one to change the lightbulb and ten to share the experience.</p>
<ol>
<li>How many Dartmouth students does it take to change a lightbulb?</li>
</ol>
<p>None---Hanover doesn't have electricity.</p>
<ol>
<li>How many Cornell students does it take to change a lightbulb?</li>
</ol>
<p>Two---One to change the lightbulb and one to crack under the pressure and jump into a gorge.</p>
<ol>
<li>How many Penn students does it take to change a lightbulb?</li>
</ol>
<p>Only one, but he gets six credits for it.</p>
<ol>
<li>How many Columbia students does it take to change a lightbulb?</li>
</ol>
<p>Seventy-six---one to change the lightbulb, fifty to protest the
lightbulb's right to not change, and twenty-five to hold a
counter-protest.</p>
<ol>
<li>How many Yale students does it take to change a lightbulb?</li>
</ol>
<p>None---New Haven looks better in the dark.</p>
<ol>
<li>How many Harvard students does it take to change a lightbulb?</li>
</ol>
<p>One---he holds the lightbulb and the world revolves around him.</p>
<p>Wow, I never heard those before - they're kinda great</p>
<p>Can you explain the six credits bit?</p>
<p>Once upon a time the Penn one was "2, one to change the lightbulb and one to check the status of his transfer apps" but that one has fallen out of vogue along with outward-bound transfers</p>
<p>How about:
5. How many Penn students does it take to change a lightbulb?
Six: Let's see there's the CEO, CFO, COO, VP, and one Engineer (And of course one college student to write an essay about how he didn't sell out)</p>
<p>crouton, you sooo stole that from me</p>
<p>stole it from pennhunter, who stole it from you</p>
<p>:-p</p>
<p>congrats on stern btw</p>
<p>thanks :P
I'm really really excited. Where are you going?</p>
<p>"Can you explain the six credits bit?"</p>
<p>That one has never made sense to me. Penn's definitely a 1 class 1 credit place.</p>
<p>Haha, those are really great. :-)</p>
<p>Those are only funny to people who don't like funny</p>
<p>People like mengcheng</p>
<p>those jokes are pretty old... Penn's definitely needs to be updated.</p>
<p>We are strange among the ivies in that the typical schedule here is 5 courses a semester instead of 4.</p>
