Ivy League ranked by name:

Harvard
Yale
Columbia
Princeton
Dartmouth
Cornell
Penn
Brown

I would say Penn and Brown are tied for last place, but I think Penn gets a slight boost because if you are traveling abroad and you say you graduated from University of Pennsylvania, people would understand that was a University in Pennsylvania, but if you tell them you are a student at Brown University, they ask "Huh? Why is it called Brown? Is there a Green U?"

"Swarthmore" is hideous, but their arboretum campus is truly beautiful.

Which ones sound the most stately? Which ones make you think, “hideous”?
