[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Columbia's school of engineering is not Ivy League[/quote]

Columbia SEAS and Columbia College make up Columbia University in the City of New York, an Ivy League university.  Obviously, you didn't go to Columbia. [/quote]

I'm a 1990 graduate of Columbia SEAS.  I consider Columbia College as Ivy League, but not SEAS.  SEAS is a separate school with separate admissions.

I should have added that I don't consider Columbia's School of General Studies or Barnard to be Ivy League either.[/quote]

Correct.  What then constitutes "Columbia University" that belongs to the Ivy League?  Columbia College is one.  But then, Columbia College alone is not "Columbia University", if you know the meaning of "University."  The meaning of "university" consists of more than "college.  There is something else that goes with Columbia College to create Columbia University - Columbia SEAS.  [/quote]

Columbia University has three undergrad schools (four if you count Barnard):  Columbia College, SEAS, and General Studies.  I graduated SEAS.  To me, Columbia College is Ivy League, but not SEAS and definitely not General Studies.  Glad to learn that I am wrong.  My life will be forever changed.  Thanks.

"The Ivy League... refer to the eight schools... Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, and Yale University." - Wiki

Columbia College is not ivy - Columbia University is.  [/quote]

You've got me so confused now.  If Columbia College "is not Ivy" as you have asserted above, then Columbia SEAS is not Ivy (same for Columbia General Studies).  So, I was right all along -- Columbia SEAS is not ivy.  I can go back to living my normal life now.  Thanks again!

NP: now I'm confused. No one said Columbia College isn't part of the Ivy League. I think you're more confused than you think and you're misinterpreting what the other poster said.

Clare College is a college at Cambridge University. No one would say a graduate of Clare College didn't graduate from Cambridge. [/quote]
