<p>Doesn’t this suck? How nasty would that be?</p>
<p>I’d be the first one there.</p>
<p>The parties, the sun, the beaches. Not to mention the females.</p>
<p>You mean Carlos Albizu University-Miami isn’t an Ivy?!?! Damn, and I was so proud of myself for getting in.</p>
<p>Ha, I can’t imagine trying to study when the warm beach weather would be calling my name :)</p>
<p>well ivy schools are ivy b/c they are old, and when they were started south fla was still the everglades lol</p>
<p>i kinda like that it isn’t, meeting people in NE and telling them that i’m from so.fla makes me sound cooler 
lol</p>
<p>hehe. good question.</p>
<p>i thought ivy league schools have to be in places where the four seasons are distinctly evident</p>
<p>ivy doesnt grow in the everglades or on south beach does it?</p>
<p>Warm weather somehow isn’t conducive to studying, I guess :-(</p>
<p>The Ivy League is a football league, that’s how everything started.</p>
<p>Funny how going to school in a pretty bad football league has become the hallmark of academic acheivement.</p>
<p>Also, things Ivy’s have in common - they’re older than the State of Florida (it was under Spanish control when the schools were founder) and have Ivy walls and New England weather. Gotta love it.</p>
<p>Yay! My hundredth post on CC, let loose the balloons and streamers.</p>
<p>because they want to drag us into the dang snow, and subzero temperatures, it’s the worst thing, stay in florida, screw ivy league, make them come to us</p>
<p>They’re only called the Ivy league, like Dima said, because they formed a sports conference like any other group of schools.</p>
<p>They are not the oldest schools in the country, however, older than Florida, quite likely.</p>
<p>florida could form its own athletic ivy with UF, FSU, and miami, hehe… anyone care to join and play football?</p>
<p>All of them are older than the state except Cornell, which was founded in 1865 I believe…</p>
<p>interesting</p>
<p>What about Southern Caalifornia? Nice weather and great on everything, and I don’t need to leave my home.:)</p>
<p>I would love that! I might never get around to studying, though.</p>
<p>I totoally wish they did! What about Satallite campuses for some of them, How cool would Brown - South Beach be? Or maybe someone can convince Bill Gates to start “Gates University” in Miami…</p>

<p>It actually used to be the premier football league and is still one of the top 1-AA leagues.</p>
<p>I apologize ods, but anyway 1-AA is not exactly best of the best. You won’t see Harvard in the Rose Bowl anytime soon.</p>
