EXCERPTS:
Did you know? There are not just the eight Ivy League colleges, but there's also Little Ivies and Ivy Adjacent.
So there's no definitive list of Little Ivies or Ivy Adjacent colleges, but Ivy Adjacent you could think of as like MIT, Stanford, big universities that people mentioned in the same breath with Ivies, but aren't necessarily. Ivy League colleges. Sometimes when I make videos about Ivy Leagues and I will reference like MIT or Stanford, people put in the comments, those aren't Ivy League colleges.
And I'm like, you're right. They're absolutely not. They're Ivy adjacent and they have the same criteria to get in as Ivy League. So from my perspective and my students perspective, same thing. Little Ivies are small liberal arts colleges, Amherst, Swarthmore, Haverford, small colleges that give an incredibly good high standard education.
Did you know there were originally nine colonial colleges which are almost the same as the colleges of the Ivy League? Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, UPenn, Brown, Dartmouth. So the only one that isn't there, Cornell, which was founded a lot later. But also, the other two colonial colleges that are not Ivy League are William and Mary and Rutgers.
So those two colleges became public colleges. So not Ivy League because the Ivy Leagues are all private colleges. A lot of people get confused because they say, oh, University of Pennsylvania, that's a public college. Mm mm. University of Pennsylvania is a private college. Penn State is a public college, so public means that they get money from the state or the federal government, where UPenn does not.
