<p>Dude, you are preaching to the choir. There are many fine universities that offer equal opportunities to Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford and Yale. Schools like the remaining 5 Ivies. Schools like CalTech, Chicago, Duke, Johns Hopkins and Northwestern. Schools like Cal-Berkeley, Michigan-Ann Arbor, UCLA, UNC-Chapel Hill, UVA and Wisconsin-Madison. Schools like Emory, Georgetown, Rice, Vanderbilt and WUSL. Schools like Amherst, Bowdoin, Carleton, Davidson, Grinnell, Haverford, Middlebury, Pomona, Swarthmore, Wesleyan and Williams. And the list goes on and on. </p>
<p>But, I was not referring to the quality of education. That really cannot be measured anyway. I was actually referring to the quality of the universities in their totality. If you look at the entire insitution, which is meaningless to the individual person I grant you, I believe that Harvard and Stanford are among the top 5 universities in the US.</p>
