That's hilarious! Going to ANY ivy is better than going to beauty school (nothing wrong with that, though.)

Why would someone rank them? Your education is what you make of it.

If this is plagiarism, someone please link the original post.

I'm very suspicious about these college rankings. Although I love to see Brown ranked as a "tier 1" school, I can only wonder: where's the proof? Perhaps the OP can give out more information, such as where these opinions actually come from (names, experience).

Brown is an amazing university that I have the privilege to go to. But it's not the best place for everyone, and it's certainly not considered to be a "tier 1" school in every regard (even if we only consider the ivy league schools). That being said, I think the information concerning Brown is satisfactory, although it certainly doesn't strike me as deserving excessive praise. (The celebrity halo seems to have nothing to do with a legitimate college experience and RISD's affect on Brown isn't as far-reaching as it sounds.)

I can only offer a critical opinion of Brown, because that's all I know. I hope people avoid/approach with caution people who seem to believe they have a firm grasp on all the ivy league schools, when all they have are general, gleaming "facts".

i think this is stupid

i think that they are all so good, with the slight exception of Cornell, that any ranking of one above the other is so marginal as to be absolutely positively meaningless in the quality of the education you can get / seek out.


And for the record, I take like half my classes at RISD. You just have to push the right buttons.
