[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A degree from UVA is Ivy-league because UVA is one of the [b]original Public Ivies[/b].

Public Ivies offer the same standard of education as the Ivies, in a public school environment and at a public school cost. These schools are more than just non-Ivies — they're some of the best schools you can attend in the world today.

Just search "best public universities in USA" and you'll find UVA.[/quote]

Lol - that isn't a thing. Just click bait.

I don't like the term either because it venerates the ivy league.  I wish there were a better less fawning lickspittle way to refer to the best state colleges but this is the easiest way to communicate the general message [b]without having to educate everyone you want to talk to about this topic.[/b][/quote]

And putting them to sleep while you do so?  I mean, come on.  The term "little/public/whatever Ivies" is just so navel-gazing and insecure.  Just the fact that you seriously think you need to "educate everyone" about it is so... sad.
