If Yale were any place other than New Haven they would call it Heaven. (Ironic isn't it) As far as being all around your best bet there is no other choice
Harvard--land of the psychotics
Princeton-home of the geeks
Columbia- dumping ground of rejects
Brown-why ask for more whe you can settle for less
UPenn- like Penn State without the academics
Cornell- better than Dr. Kevorkian in assisted suicides
Stanford- wannabe-central
Dartmouth- who cares
M.I.T- we're near Harvard
Need I go on?
Message:
you forgot one thing: New Haven is the land where people go who COULDNT get into Harvard (that's not to say your school is bad; but stop dissing others...)
