[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did Ivy undergrad and state school for PhD, so it's not a one-to-one comparison because I couldn't possibly have done both for undergrad. Ivy is awesome, and not because it will improve your job prospects, but because of the exposure to many smart people for four years. I can't sugar coat it, Ivy is on another level, period. The intellectual interactions I had at my Ivy were deeper and much more numerous. State was fine, and there were some really smart people too, but Ivy has the volume. It's all about the volume of smart people. Not demeaning state, because I did it too. [/quote]

This is how I feel, it just permeates all aspects of life. The convos at meals, who you live with, clubs, so much personal growth when you’re surrounding by it all day long everywhere. [/quote]

You get it: it's EVERYTHING.[/quote]

My buddy and I, we both did Ivy, and we have like a dozen "Cornell moments," encounters we had with random people that just blew our minds. I have never been around so many trilinguals and quatrilinguals before or since. This guy was of Italian descent, lived in Colombia (the country), studied in a German school in Colombia, and was going to Cornell, so any time I would drop by he would be reading a book in any of those four languages.
