<p>"I am a double IVY alum- undergrad and law but if I can attest to the fact that the “prestige” factor attended to the Ivies is much overrated. We just finished the college application process with my DS and we were so wowed by the range of opportunities, quality of facilities, friendliness/spirit at OSU, that my DS will be in Columbus next September. </p>
<p>While I had a great law school experience at an Ivy League school, my undergrad experience with the exception of 3 professors was unremarkable. I wish in retrospect I had attended a school like OSU and was not crippled with the the “superiority complex” syndrome that attendance at an Ivy appears to encourage.</p>
<p>The bottom line which the college admissions process, rankings, etc gloss over is that there are many factors that contribute to a good education. Look at the range of course offerings, programs of study OSU offers compared to Brown- there is no comparison!"</p>
<p>Go Bucks!! :)</p>
