Is the Ivy League Really the Same as “Best Universities in America”?

[Campus reveiw]

This is an interesting question for students planning to study in the United States.

The Ivy League is often used as shorthand for elite American universities, but technically it refers to a specific group of eight institutions:

Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton, and Yale.



The group itself was established as an athletic association in 1954.

There are also many excellent universities in the United States that are not Ivy League members. Therefore, students shouldn't automatically assume that an Ivy League university is the best choice for every subject, career or student.

Even within the Ivy League, each university has its own identity and admissions policies.

That creates an interesting discussion:

Should students choose a university because it has the Ivy League label, or because it offers the best academic and career fit for their goals?

For international students especially, factors such as total cost, financial aid, intended major, location, visa planning, campus culture, and career opportunities deserve serious attention.

The Campus Review provides an overview of the Ivy League schools for students beginning their research.
