Life at an Ivy League

<p>Evil:</p>

<p>The premise of these boards is for discussion, which often includes the sharing of opinions. There is a responsibility, however, to provide some context to your opinions, to give some idea of upon what those opinions are based, especially when those opinions are critical and potentially hurtful or offensive.</p>

<p>It is extremely unlikely that you have the knowledge, expertise, or experience to give any credibility to your opinions on the Ivy League institutions. Let’s see, you’re 19 years old, just finishing up your freshman year at a highly-ranked, well-known, respected university that is not one of the Ivy League schools. You did well in high school, gpa and SAT-wise, and applied to several, maybe even all of, the Ivies. You either didn’t get in to any of them, or, if you did, it wasn’t to any of the ones you really wanted, and there may be some resentment over that. So, you haven’t really spent much time at any of these schools, a three hour tour and info session was probably about it for most of them, maybe you went back for a second visit to a couple or to visit someone you know who attends there. But, really, nothing that gives your opinion any credibility beyond that of someone who is young and foolish and doesn’t yet know it.</p>

<p>But, hey, that’s just my opinion.</p>
