<p>Yale and Cornell are different from the others when it comes to setting. Both are in relatively small towns, while the others on your list are in big cities.</p>
<p>Columbia is different in the sense that it just has a really unique vibe. I don’t know quite how to describe it. </p>
<p>Northwestern and WUSL are different because they’re in the Midwest (which means outgoing, midwestern hospitality - a bit different from what you’d find on the more reserved East Coast). </p>
<p>MIT is different because it’s a tech school. </p>
