[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The one thing these threads are good for is bringing out the fools who love to remind everyone at every opportunity they "went to school in Boston." As has previously been stated, the "Public Ivy" designation is really a value comparison. It's possible to acknowledge that from an ROI perspective, there are many great schools on par with ivies that cost a lot less. This is especially true for undergraduate education, which is the whole ball of wax. But it's always amusing to read the responses from people shelling out the price of a house for their snowflake's education and then sniff that say, "sure, they're perfectly fine but Hahvahd is bettah." At the margins, maybe it is, but a decade down the road, it's very possible the Public Ivy grad is out-earning the snowflake and, as a bonus, probably living a more full life. [/quote] So then you just say "top public schools" or "public schools in top 10" - why refer to a sports conference? [/quote]
