[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]However, I can see how someone would have a better undergraduate experience (less TAs, for example) at Yale or Princeton without any sacrifice to "name recognition"....[/quote] I don't think anyone can credibly claim that TAs (teaching fellows at Harvard) are used more extensively at Harvard than Yale or Princeton or any of the other top schools. They are grad students or post-docs. TAs are most prominent in labs and discussion sections for the big introductory survey courses. But, they are also used in smaller classes to provide additional help and guidance beyond the instructor's office hours. The courses themselves are always taught by faculty. You might be thinking about adjuncts - PhD instructors who are not on the tenure track. All these institutions use lots of adjuncts but the credentials of the Ivy adjuncts tend to be pretty spectacular compared to the adjuncts other places. [/quote]
