Before viewing the rankings, let’s put things into perspective. Many Europeans have a chip on their shoulder when it comes to their education system, and they get offended when someone from the United States claims to have a larger one on theirs.
Case and point: On October 1st, an OTR editor declared that Harvard, Columbia and the University o...
Trojan Condoms released their third annual Sexual Health Report Card today, and the Ivy League took two of the top five spots and placed favorably overall.
For the uninitiated, the Sexual Health Report Card ranks 130 colleges and universities based on the quality and availability of sexual health services and resources on campus. And so, in th...
Long ago, a student at Cornell drowned in the Cascadilla Gorge near the school, which resulted in all the Ivy League universities adopting a mandatory swim test – at least, that is how the urban legend goes at Columbia. Today, only three Ivies – Cornell, Columbia and Dartmouth – still have the requirement, but the others may have to adopt it yet...
The U.S. economy is in shambles, and those of you who studied finance, economics or business management hoping to one day score a prestigious Wall Street job are screwed.
Don't fret, though!
Here's something to cheer you all up and help you forget that your careers -- for all intents and purposes -- are doomed.
If HALCALI's new video doesn...
At the Opening Exercises yesterday, Princeton University honored six students for their achievements during the last academic year. Among the students that took home awards was Oguzhan Atay, who shared the Freshman First Honor Prize with Sophie Wang.
Looking at the photograph of the winners above, it’s clear that Mr. Atay stands out from the r...
The Ivy League may be the crème de la crème when it comes to academics, but that doesn’t mean the Ancient Eight are without their share of faults and scandals.
Here are eight scandals that blemished the Ivy League's good name:
1. The Columbia University Noose Incident: In October 2007, a hangman’s noose was found pinned to the door of Madonn...
Pumping caffeine during those long, late nights of studying and missing out on the Thursday night debauchery seems to have finally paid off for Dartmouth grads. A survey conducted by Pay Scale has determined that Dartmouth alum are number one with the highest median salaries 10-20 years out.
The list also features the rest of the Ivy League ar...
Last week, Forbes released their inaugural list of the best colleges in the United States, and my alma mater, Northwestern, came in eleventh place, beating out four of the eight Ivy League universities.
Don’t believe me? Here’s the evidence, Mr. Naysayer:
1. Princeton University
2. California Institute of Technology
3. Harvard University

Co-ed Magazine compiled a list of the “top 9 U.S. Olympic Athlete-Producing College.” Naturally, an Ivy League university took the top spot.
Over at College Candy, Northeastern blogger, Melanie, wrote an interesting op-ed about the growing number of Adderal users on college campuses.
Uncoached laughed at a man who tried to pass as a “porn in...
The Ivy League is known as the national elite union of brains and brawns. Made up of eight schools, the Ivy League has continually cranked out the nation’s best and brightest and this is just another example of how truly awesome we are.
The Ivy League has broken yet another Olympic/Ivy record and will be represented in four categories across th...
Ivy Leaguers should just go back to their internships at Goldman, JP Morgan and Bear Sterns (wait, scratch that one). Apparently, Barack Obama is so over his Ivy League volunteers.
Political blog Open Left is reporting from an unnamed source in the Obama camp that the potential prez is sick of the overly ambitious brainiacs who are simply out ...
The great American ambition consists of three major components - get a great education, land a high-paying job and get married and have a family. This has been the case for decades and this agenda continues to be part of young graduates' futures. So why are the Ivy Leagues trying to mess with this model citizen-producing formula?
According to...
It seems multi-generational streaks of elite privilege are being disrupted in Manhattan, where even previously entitled Spence girls and Collegiate boys are feeling the wrath of Harvard's 7% admissions hammer.
Like, not even one Dalton kid got into Harvard this year! $400,000 (after taxes!) on a K-12 education and its A- students were totally...
During a random "I'm Feeling Lucky" Google search, I stumbled upon an odd study about my secret fascination, Asians.
Yes, I usually turn to my Asian brethren for small pleasures, including but not limited to: dancing, fashion suggestions, intensity. And, yes, I admit that there's still much I do not know about Asians, but this study ran along ...
