[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Easily U. Penn. [/quote]

U penn is an Ivy[/quote]

Public Ivy. [/quote]

You're just messing with me now, right?[/quote]

Are people here that dumb that they think Penn (Ivy league) is interchangeable with Penn State (big public school)?[/quote]

Ivy is just a football designation. Penn is Penn. [/quote]

“Penn” is a private school in Philadelphia and a member of the Ivy League. “ Penn State” is a public school in rural Pennsylvania. Please don’t call Penn State “Penn” you look like an idiot.[/quote]
Lmao, looks like you fell for the public Ivy bait, and started thinking University of Pennsylvania is an (actual) Ivy.

University of Pennsylvania is the public flagship of Pennsylvania, with the main campus in Philadelphia and several other ones including Camden and Hershey.

Similar to the University of Virginia, it is indeed a "public Ivy" and was founded by a founding father, Benjamin Franklin. Neither UVa or UPenn are private schools though, they are public schools.

There's actually a federal law that mandates that the University of X designation be reserved for public schools only, to avoid confusion and fraud. University of Chicago, for example, is the Chicago branch of the University of Illinois (whose main campus is in Urbana-Champaign).[/quote]
