[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of really fantastic schools outside the T60.  You will get a better education and be set up for grad school and jobs at these schools better than the “prestigious”
“elitist” so called T60.

Some that come to mind.  Pitt, Syracuse, Indiana, Minnesota, Iowa, Denison, Kenyon, Connecticut College, Wooster, DePauw, Allegheny, Elon, Miami Ohio, OSU, Dayton, DePaul, Loyola Chicago, Butler, Creighton, Furman, Sewanee, Rhodes, Penn State, Dickinson … list goes on and on.

Kids will do better at life and be happier here than they will be at an Ivy.  Others won’t believe it but it’s the truth.  [/quote]

It’s a bit of a stretch to claim kids will do better at life if using conventional thought on “better”…some will and many won’t.

If by “better” you mean happy, well adjusted, good job and grad school prospects, great education … then, yes, these schools are better than ivies.

If by “better” you mean 90 hour a week job at Goldman Sachs, hookers and cocaine habit on the side, alimony payments to ex wife or single working mom raising kids, and kids who have serious mental health issues and hate you, then Ivy clearly better. [/quote]
