<p>I just thought i’d post (for the first time) b’c I’m kind of the exact opposite… I was between ND, U Penn, and Berkeley (I’m from California) for Engineering. I wasn’t crazy about the idea of staying in cali, so i was between ND and U Penn. If I could do it over… I would go to U Penn. Everyone told me (back in Cali) that if I was going to live in the midwest ND would be very well respected. But i’m living in the midwest and I have people from damn Michigan State talking down to me.</p>
<p>That said I have a high paying job and a few friends out of ND… so I guess I didn’t completely ■■■ up my life. But it would be nice to be like “ivy league? what what?”</p>
Yeah, those are the kind of people who would “talk down to you” no matter where else you went (besides their school).</p>
<p>
So these things matter less than a couple cocky people from another school making a fuss to feel better about themselves.</p>
<p>
Yes, I’m sure you would have been much better off if your school was in the Ivy League Sports Conference. Though many people associate Penn with a state school, insult it as a “lesser Ivy” (whatever that’s supposed to mean), and will always think their school is better.</p>
<p>^Hahaha great post
Despite my previous posts strongly supporting ND, I decided to go to Duke following a waitlist acceptance. ND is awesome; Duke’s just a better fit for me.</p>
