<p>Ok, this is going to go in all the ivy league colleges' discussion boards. In your opinion, which do you think (as objectively as possible) is the best Ivy? Which is the worst? And why?</p>
<p>This will be interesting.</p>
<p>I wouldn't broach this subject...it could get ugly.</p>
<p>It all depends...if you're talking best academic atmosphere for UNDERGRADUATES....then P-ton for sure.</p>
<p>But I think the mix of an excellent undergraduate focus and a smaller..more dedicated university atmosphere is what puts d-mout on top.</p>
<p>This is the worst question I've ever heard asked. Not only is an objective ranking of 8 schools in an athletic league impossible, it is also pointless. The "rank" of a school is not nearly as important as the fit. Making your college choice based on such ratings makes you a prestige whọre. For one person, Columbia might be the best fit for that person, whereas another totally opposite person could find that Dartmouth is the best fit.</p>
<p>hear, hear.</p>
<p>This is a flame war waiting to happen</p>
<p>I move to delete this thread before anyone gets hurt.</p>
<p>Sparticus800 from the Cornell board says:</p>
<p>"Dartmouth is the worst because it has a body part in its name."</p>
<p>Very intelligent-sounding. Those crazy Cornellians...</p>
<p>You can't take part of a post that addresses every one of the ivies in a negative way and just post the part that you believe will cause a fight.
the ACTUAL post (<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=46074&page=2&pp=20%5B/url%5D):">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=46074&page=2&pp=20):</a>
<p>Penn is the worst because its something you put pigs in?</p>
<p>Columbia is the worst because its named after a drug trafficking nation</p>
<p>Dartmouth is the worst because it has a body part in its name</p>
<p>i'm too lazy to do the rest</p>
<p>theres not a worst ivy either, the same rules for no best ivy apply just as much
</p>
<p>actually..I second the motion to delete the thread..</p>
<p>I think we are all getting cranky coming up to decisions day</p>
<p>do moderators exist on these boards? i haven't every seen (or noticed) one posting anything...</p>
<p>Dude, monkeyman, why are you repeating what everyone else says on different forums and posting them around the 8 duplicate theads you starteD??</p>
<p>am i the only one who finds this moderately amusing</p>
<p>Hahahahaha, yeah jetmaster guess you're the only one here thats not anal. You kids seriously need to calm down, you're all ready to call up the moderator from his midnight snack. Learn to take a joke (some people are getting kinda cranky before decision day). Yes yes yes, we all know that this is a lame thread, because Dartmouth rules all. But seriously now...Stanford owns Dartmouth. And any other Ivy. =D</p>
<p>Stanford 09'.</p>
<p>I'm surprised that a certain Harvard alum has not crashed this thread....</p>
<p>AMAZING</p>
<p>Since when is it "anal" to not want to engage in some anal-self-stoking-game of "my school's better than your school"?</p>
