<p>I thought it might be fun to give each Ivy a label, as I know some of them have certain reputations...</p>
<p>Penn - The Social Ivy
Yale - The Gay Ivy
Harvard - ???
Princeton - The Preppy Ivy
Cornell - The Killer Ivy
Dartmouth - The Secluded Ivy?
Brown - The Crunchy Ivy
Columbia - ???</p>
<p>I was accepted into Dartmouth, Cornell, and Princeton, as far as Ivies go so I'm interested to see what everyone has to say about them.</p>
<p>I've heard that:</p>
<p>Princeton = The Prince Ivy
Columbia = The King Ivy (b/c of its location's former name)</p>
<p>It's general consensus (it seems) that:</p>
<p>Dartmouth = The Cold Ivy
Cornell = The Easiest-to-get-into Ivy</p>
<p>and of course:</p>
<p>Harvard = The Overrated Ivy</p>
<p>I'll read up on the rest of the Ivies and post more later.....</p>
<p>Props on an interesting idea btw ;)</p>
<p>P.S. Why is Yale known as "The Gay Ivy?" I'm just curious b/c I've never heard that before.</p>
<p>Overrated . . . Preppiest . . . Easiest-to-get-into? It's sad that titles attatched can't reflect more accurate/positive aspects of these schools . . .</p>
<p>well, people know that they are good, so we can just highlight some "other" aspects of ivys =)</p>

<p>APDoolittle, the slogan
"One in four. Maybe more.
One in three. Maybe me.
One in two. Maybe you!"
is often applied to Yale.</p>
<p>Wow, that Ivy chat link was somethin' else! Surely those chatters aren't representative of the more respectful Ivy League students! Hmm... that's an interesting slogan. I never heard of it before.</p>
<p>Murasaki, on second thought, I do agree with you! Let's try to highlight the good aspects as well. Afterall, students considering these schools, or admitted into them, would probably want to know both the good and the bad. I'll post later with some good nicknames.</p>
<p>Oh, here's another one:</p>
<p>Princeton = The Most Undergraduate-Friendly Ivy ;)</p>
<p>kemet - interesting link</p>
<p>at my school brown is known as the 'hippy' ivy.</p>
<p>Hmmm.... Drew00, why is that? </p>
<p>To all posters: From now on, if you post a nickname for a school, please provide a brief explanation of it. Otherwise, anyone could make up any name w/o a convincing basis for it. Thanks ;)</p>

<p>LOL that whole convo was freakin' hilarious!</p>
<p>Harvard = The Poison Ivy</p>
<p>Ba-dum.</p>

<p>Penn: The social ivy
Columbia: The rich people's ivy
Yale: The genius ivy
Harvard: the prestige whore ivy
Brown: The hippy ivy
Dartmouth: The drinking ivy
Cornell: The easy ivy
princeton: the poorman's ivy</p>
<p>These are the opinions of my classmates</p>
<p>Haha, why's Princeton the poorman's ivy? B/c of it's insanely AWESOME financial aid?? Haha, very interesting labels ;)</p>
<p>Yep. Because of no loans :) My school is special and so am I :)</p>
<p>Haha, then as a poor man, I'm proud to be going to the Poor man's Ivy! ;) There's no better place (their no-loan policy is by far among the best in U.S. higher education)!!</p>
<p>OMG that convo is HILARIOUS</p>
