<p>Just spoke with a Harvard freshman home for the summer–when asked he said Brown is well known as the least prestigious Ivy. Thoughts? Thanks.</p>
<p>The paramount rule in using online message boards: do not feed the ■■■■■.</p>
<p>^There actually may be some intellegence to this post afterall: English lesson for the day…“least prestigious Ivy” = oxymoron. Albeit, a very ignorant oxymoron!</p>
<p>But mommy, the ■■■■■ is so cute! Can we keep it?!?!?! Pleaaaasseeee?</p>
<p>You’re just splitting hairs if you compare Ivies in terms of prestige. They’re all very prestigious which is, ahem, the reason they’re referred to as Ivies.</p>
<p>And, uhh, of course a Harvard undergrad would say that…</p>
<p>I always thought Harvard people were “above” such petty petit-bourgeoise Ivy antics as prestige ranking…siiigh.</p>
<p>Besides everyone knows the answer is Cornell ;)</p>
<p>^If you really think that, you obviously haven’t been outside the small bubble that is the east coast of the U.S.</p>
<p>I would say that UPenn is the least prestigious ivy (except maybe Wharton) because people often forget that it’s even an ivy league school. But in all honesty, after a certain point, prestige really doesn’t make any difference; not that it even matters in the first place.</p>
<p>You listen to a Harvard guy about Brown? Seriously.</p>
<p>goddamnnit people, this thread is supposed to be on buried deep down the forums right now.</p>
<p>Ha. What a silly thread. What do Harvard students know anyway? ;)</p>
<p>Clearly they don’t know how to stay classy regarding ‘competitor’ schools ;)</p>
<p>icebox, don’t worry - we’re not feeding the ■■■■■■. This is actually a more interesting topic than some of the crap that other ■■■■■■ start (“her mOMMY got her into HARVARD!!!1!”)</p>
<p>I think you’re OK with “least prestigious Ivy”. It’s like being the shortest tall person, or the thinnest fat person or the richest poor person.</p>
<p>Very true - as I said, splitting hairs.</p>
<p>It’s the name.</p>
<p>All that really needs to be said is hotel management. cough<em>cornell</em>cough</p>
<p>^Yup. Cornell’s hotel management program is prestigious worldwide if that’s what you’re implying ;).</p>
<p>I think the least prestigious Ivy is ■■■■■ University, the lesser known 9th Ivy. It’s located in Poughkeepsie, New York and is coincidentally the largest, small city there, or was that smallest, large city?</p>
<p>^ I like that</p>

<p>Absolutely Wrong. The term Ivy league is an athletic conference among 8 Universities including Brown. By some large and strange coincidence these 8 schools happen to be among the very best schools not only in the U.S. but wordwide.</p>
