Harvard is a university |
Harvard College is part of Harvard University. |
The undergraduate school of Harvard University is called Harvard College. High School students apply to Harvard College. |
Doubt Columbia would make the list if the survey was given today. |
NYU not in the same class academically, so its presence on the list reflects some students’ desire to be in New York City. |
Columbia won't have trouble filling its class. Every declination to attend is another student's dream come true. |
Oh good!
Another meaningless list! Whatever would we do without them?? /s. |
The 10 schools most named by surveyed parents as their "dream" colleges for their children were:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology Princeton University (NJ) Harvard College (MA) Stanford University (CA) Duke University (NC) University of Michigan Yale University (CT) New York University Cornell University (NY) Brown University (RI) Notice no Columbia here. |
None of those would make my list. I dream differently, I guess! |
Maybe. Maybe not. Those kids have made that university degree almost worthless and its graduates unemployable. The parents deserve a refund. |
It certainly would. These news cycles will be a blip for those applying to Columbia this fall and forward. |
Parents dream differently as they age. Not surprised Columbia is not on their list. From revolutionaries in their younger days dreaming of changing the world, they become Fox-watching Trumpsters as they age. If you ever watch Fox, you can tell their demographics during the commercial breaks. Fox targets men who suffer from erectile dysfunction with their Viagra commercials, people who need metamucil cuz they can no longer dump like their younger days. Good luck! |
What is the Michigan obsession? |
Majority of students dream of large flagships with lots of college spirit, concerts, greek life and sunny weather. |
