[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is interested in a college with a big school atmosphere, like Big Ten colleges.  I get that and am not dissuading her from this.  She has the qualitative qualifications for an Ivy and we want to explore a few for her to apply to as well.  One of the many considerations will be the school atmosphere. I understand they have different atmospheres than Big Ten schools, but which one do you think is the closest to the Big Ten atmosphere?[/quote]

If they really are "ivy" qualifications then you have to aim for the only two T10s with big sports(but neither are big 10 big): Northwestern or Duke. The nerd factor and intensity is still there. They have the competitive huge % who are go-go -go all the time in their classes as well as their clubs, just like ivy kids, but they also have sports that are closer to Big 10 than any ivy.

Duke basketball, sure, but not the rest of their sports. Nothing is like Big10/SEC for a football game day experience.[/quote]
