<p>Actually, the quality of education at Ivies can sometimes be wishy-washy. Consider that your professors are going to be dedicated a large majority of their time to research. A friend of mine got into Stanford (sometimes put in the same category as Ivies). When she visited, a professor said told her to choose another college if she wanted a quality education. She ended up choosing a LAC that fit her perfectly. On top of that, she felt that Vassar’s name opened many doors for her. To sum up, an elite name does not necessarily equal a top-notch education.</p>
