When (if ever) do you think Duke will catch up with HYP?

^ beyphy, that is a very west coast centric perspective. On the east coast most people think Duke is an ivy, although it is very difficult to verify either of our assertions.

<p>Actually, from the two people who told me they thought Stanford was an ivy, one was from the midwest, and the other was from Russia. I’d think that people on the east coast have less misconceptions about the ivy’s since that’s where they are. But it all depends i guess.</p>

Beyphy, I can’t tell if you’re disagreeing with me or if you just felt like quoting me and then offering your own insight, but I don’t disagree with the idea that Stanford may actually be “the heart” of Silicon Valley.

<p>offering my own insight mostly.</p>

I meant to imply that Chicago’s approach isn’t necessarily better. Notice how I described Chicago as “traditionally intellectual”? I’m not saying that Chicago’s academic environment is better than Stanford’s, I’m just saying that Chicago’s ambiance fits the “traditional” description of intellectual. I also went on to say that Chicago’s approach may be outdated. I’m fairly certain that phantasmagoric would actually agree with me.

<p>Sorry, i interpreted your comment on a “problem at Stanford” as implying that there’s a problem here as opposed to other schools (like Chicago.)</p>
