[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The [b]average well-educated foreigner[/b] who doesn't obsessively follow college rankings would not know about Yale or Princeton either. They have heard about the "Ivies" [i]because[/i] they know Harvard is one, but don't know the others. Most incorrectly think it's just a label for the top 10 universities in the US. The US colleges that are known globally by the average well-educated foreigner are Harvard and Stanford. Add MIT for those in engineering. Add UC Berkeley for those in China. For UK, it's Oxford. A smaller number will know of Cambridge. [/quote] I love how ignorant Americans speak with such authority. We, foreigners, are also interested in arts and know which schools have the best programs. Do you know how many Asian kids apply to Juilliard? How many Europeans are trying for the VCU's sculpture program? [/quote] The [b]average[/b] well-educated foreigner is not interested in fine arts.
