The whole school is Ivy.

Really? I have a lot of friends from New York and grew up near there. Everyone I knew growing up considered only the undergrad arts and sciences to be Ivy.

this is so nuts. Ivy League is an athletic conference. And all colleges feed into the teams.

This board is so nuts

I am spiteful and jealous that my kid couldn't get in so I am calling it an athletic conference to make myself feel better.

I'm always surprised (not surprised) when the very few programs in place to lower costs and/or expand access are mocked on DCUM. It costs 20k less, it must be bad. It's provincial.

I believe only New York State residents get reduced tuition at the contract colleges. Is that true?

Yes, now, but for a long time (at least through the 90s), OOS students got a reduced rate on tuition so costs were in line with other OOS schools for me.

Biology could be done for considerably less in CALS. No difference in the major. I think the only difference was that I was not in obligated to take two semesters of foreign language. I did, but it wasn’t required.
