    As a lifelong academic, I don't see the point in Ivy league school. I've rarely been asked where my degrees come from. People care whether or not you can do the job, not that you wasted money on a school with a flashy name.
    No one should care about these schools or anything about them. The sole focus should be what can they teach? Are they actually doing a better job, or is just the name of the school?
    Some of the absolute best teachers are hiding at Community Colleges, where most of your instructors keep their egos in check so you can actually get help and guidance from them.

      I did graduate (decades ago) from one of the more prominent hbcu uni. Some on the ppl whom I know, from our mutual enrollment, completed graduate programs (law, other things) at Ivy League. Nobody really brings this up at homecoming festivities.
      I attended a state uni for grad school: when I attend association conferences or functions for my profession, not one single person ever asked which grad program I completed. Not one.
      In 2021, someone from uni days sent a pic around of one of our friend’s being sworn in as a judge in HER state. SHE didn’t put it on her FB, or 📢. One of our mutuals who sees her (the judge) oftern, attended the ceremony and took the pic and sent it to our friends.

    Ivy League isn't what it used to be. Its best to go to a community college depending on the quality of them near you. I had a professor say he enjoyed teaching at community colleges because it wasn't as restrictive and you have students from many different background that can offer various viewpoints. Whereas in some colleges, the students tend to be mostly religious or share the same political beliefs.

      I think the university system works on an out-dated model that must change. I know an old friend who went through college and graduated with a business degree and had zero experience in an actual business. Once he graduated he got a job offer, he worked there and they let him go because he lacked basic social skills that are required to work with others. He was book smart but socially he was extremely awkward and judgmental to everyone because he felt entitled. He’s working as a bus boy at a chain restaurant now because he lacks the bad skills that are required in interpersonal relationships. Instead of trying to work on his own communication issues, he just decided he doesn’t care.
      That’s the problem with universities, they lecture and then they have no obligation to teach basic skills needed to be able to work in the real world.
      A business degree without any real world experience is just a major problem.

    That was shockingly well conducted and both women put together some strong arguments. I would also like to throw out there that between trade schools and the Ivy League there are tons of places known as public and private universities and colleges. The options are not become an investment banker or a plumber. You can graduate from a "Southern college" as a lawyer, teacher, nurse, doctor, admin, journalist, etc. While most people don't wind up following a straight career path, they are still hoping for some return on their investment, like being able to get a job after they graduate. Which if your degree is in Women's studies, might be hard to do.

    Love how people are focused on the cost when Ivy League schools have the best financial aid packages for students from average to below average income households.
    It was cheaper for me to go to Princeton than any of the local colleges within a 100 mile radius from where I grew up and MUCH cheaper than any of the UC schools
    But seems like people are more focused on preconceived notions or their individual experiences with a few Ivy League grads to see past their own prejudices and explain away all of the amazing benefits one gets from attending one of these universities
    But hey, what do I know

      Agree with what you said. My sibling is currently attending an Ivy as a full ride student. He will be graduating debt-free. So many people still assume that attending an Ivy means going under tremendous debt just by looking at the sticker price. I also know someone who graduated from Cornell, but was able to pay back any loans he had within a year because of his financial aid package. So many people act like they know everything about the Ivy League when they are just displaying their ignorance and jealousy.
