Agree. Both are southern public Ivies with beautiful campuses & lovely college towns.

Please stop with this public Ivy nonsense. They are good public universities and that should be enough. It is pathetic and embarrassing to try and further burnish their image with a silly reference to the Ivy league.

Sorry but unless there are 9900000000 other people there with you who have all co-signed your post, you, like everyone else,only get a +1.

Good lord

DCUM did not coin the phrase “public Ivy” (I think US News did but it is a commonly known/used term in any case).

-pp who has zero connection to any “public Ivy” & therefore no reason to try to “burnish” their image.


You don’t have to coin a phrase for its use to be silly. Nor does it have to maintain whatever meaning it once had, if ever. I’m sure the kids at the University of Vermont don’t use this term because it’s dreadfully wannabe. (And I happen to love UVM.)


Why are you so angry about something as benign as people using this phrase? Do you think it somehow makes your “real” Ivy degree less special?


Not angry at all. You seem angry though. Hope you feel better.

Um no. Michigan is a tier above.


No, it’s not. Unless you’re talking about Michigan’s separate engineering college. Michigan liberal arts grads are a dime a dozen.

I disagree completely on the first three.

Second pair of trios is good.

Oberlin and Denison have a very different feel and I think will appeal to different folks.

Uh, no, you (or whoever the ridiculous “burnish their image” poster is) are definitely the one who sounds unduly angry & offended.

Good job at trying to simultaneously deflect & be condescending, though!
