[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since when did Duke and Penn become comparable. Penn culturally is close Brown and Columbia certainly not anything like Duke.

No, Penn is more like Harvard than any of the other ivies.  Strongest professional schools and an urban campus that is not NYC.[/quote]

I have kids at multiple ivies and spouse and I went to different ones for undergraduate and law. Penn is indeed closest to H as far as the campus setting goes and proximity to law (on campus) and med center attached(P) or very close(H). Both are adjacent but not in a big city, even down to the pedestrian bridge connecting the campus areas. Penn has more green space than Harvard. Columbia is the only truly urban ivy with almost no green space and actually in the city. Yale is more like Brown based on setting, with New Haven and Providence streets mixed through the campus but no bigger city close by. Princeton is its own small town feel and Dartmouth and Cornell are positively rural, though Cornell is so large it does not have the same rural-mountains college feel as Dartmouth. [/quote]
