The professors‚ faculty‚ alumni‚ and current students are significantly more likely to be successful and have valuable connections at an Ivy League institution than at a middling state school. The networking aspect of an elite college is priceless. The only top tier college I can picture myself at is Brown. Brown is considered by many to be the “Hippy school” of the Ivy’s‚ and I can see

I made sure his first word was calculus. I taught him the name of every Ivy League school before he learned the full alphabet. Everyday after he gets home he only gets homework time. He does not get to watch TV or play outside‚ that is a big waste of time. Who needs entertainment or social interaction when you can do lots and

Summer‚ a time for the beach‚ partying‚ and having fun. But for some teenagers‚ it means getting a job. In the books Nantucket Blue and Nantucket Red‚ Cricket Thompson‚ a teenager from Providence entering her senior year‚ went all the way to Nantucket for a summer job with hopes to make some fun memories and leave her problems back at home.

Ivy League colleges are characterized by their social elitism‚ selectivity in admissions‚ and academic excellence. In theory‚ the conclusion makes sense‚ but it also begs the question of whether or not those who attend these colleges are indeed given an advantage when it comes to becoming
