The Ivy League Colleges

Eight US colleges comprise the 'Ivy League' -- an elite group of private universities that enjoy a reputation for providing excellent education and attracting top students. It is interesting to note that the term 'ivy league' originally referred not to academics but to sports. The original Ivy League brought together not minds, but football teams. That said, these eight universities have some educational and institutional traits in common beyond their athletics programs. All are long-established, highly selective private universities; all are in the Northeastern US; all benefit from sizeable endowments and generous alumni financial support; all are highly selective -- and all provide need blind aid that often make them less expensive than in-state public colleges. Is an Ivy League school right for you? If so, which one?
