And yet apparently it isn't producing grads, or fans, who can compose a grammatically correct sentence or two.

Which is why you'd need to choose Duke over the Ivies.
Fat chance.
But Stanford over any Ivy - though weather is just one reason.
It would be a tough choice, but I'd still go with the Ivy. Their traditions would trump the beautiful weather for me. Attending a school that John Adams or JFK or Woodrow Wilson or Obama attended would mean more than going to the alma mater of Herbert Hoover.
You pick your schools based on where dead people went?
