<p>I agree. I went to an Ivy, received my advanced degrees at Ivies and for a while was in higher education. I decided prior to becoming a parent that I would NEVER send one of my children to the Ivies as undergraduates. There are many wonderful colleges where students can get an education equivalent or even superior to the Ivies. Many of the professors at these universities and colleges received their advanced degrees at HYP, etc. Many were junior faculty at these universities.</p>
