<p>Everybody I’ve met who attended an Ivy League school (okay, it’s not many people, I don’t hobnob with elites) has said they would not send their kids to one for an undergrad degree, as the actual quality of education at the undergrad degree is terrible, in the sense that you are not taught by real faculty but by grad students, every class has fifty bajillion people in it, etc. Ivies tend to have very high undergrad dissatisfaction rates.</p>
<p>OTOH, people who’ve been to MIT rave about it, even at the undergrad level.</p>
