[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Coming across the JHU thread and it’s clear there are some people unfamiliar with American colleges who think Ivy League = the best. It is worth repeating that there are just as many universities NOT in the Ivy League that are just as good and just as prestigious as the Ivies.

Stanford, MIT, Chicago, Cal Tech, JHU, Northwestern, Duke

If we expand to LACS, add Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore and Pomona.

If these schools were to just start their own separate academic “league,” they would rival the Ivy League, easily.[/quote]

Here we go again.  Most of the crowd here does not agree with your random list of other Ivy schools.  Everyone has an opinion and everyone knows there are other choices.   Why bring this up again and again.  BTW - I do NOT think Williams, Amherst or Hopkins or Duke or Pomona deserve to be on this list.  Lots of reasons make them terrible schools. Oh, and lets go to Hopkins in Baltimore and worry every minute about the crime rate. [/quote]

What make Williams, Amherst, and Pomona terrible schools? Genuinely curious, I don't have a dog in this fight at all.[/quote]
