I'd like to see an article from a newspaper more reputable than the NY Post before commenting.

Well the ivy leagues do have a history of being douchebags about the military.

I've always wanted to ask this. I know college students are usually leftist in the US, but does this apply to the Ivy League schools? I wouldn't be surprised if they were filled with people like HC instead. This report shows that they're anti-war, so now I doubt that.

No, rich privileged crackers are the most liberal of all.

Poor whites are the conservatives.

Ivy leagues are some of the most liberal universities in the country if I recall correctly. The more conservative universities are usually the ones with work-study/co-op programs apparently.

My twin brother is going to RIT to do a co-op.
Okay... so do you think this gives you some sort of conservative credibility? RIT is a fancy pants private university with $30+K annual tuition.

1. I'm not the one going to RIT.
2. I wasn't trying to brag about my brother being conservative, I was trying to brag about him going to RIT.
3. He's not conservative because he is going to a conservative college, he's conservative because he holds conservative beliefs...
4. Beliefs aren't something you brag about, anyone can have them...
So why'd you mention it, then?

The most conservative universities tend to be the religious ones. Harvard also seemed rather conservative to me. At least compared to Yale.
Hey! There's Mr. Columbia now!


The fact of the matter is that ivy leagues don't represent the nation as a whole so there will be distortions. An average public university would do a better job at representing the national (or at least local from whence the student population is drawn) outlook than an Ivy League school would.

Ivys are super into liberal arts. Except for Cornell, they are all farmers.

Well it's something not too taxing to pass the time whilst waiting for the next cash injection from the trust fund.

It's the ability to have intercourse with actual females that probably swings it.

You know you are the result of such activities.
I refuse to believe it. I was the result of immaculate conception.

That is still the most plausible theory.

Clearly those liberal arts degrees must possess some non-monetary value unglimpsed by mere engineering degrees.
Yes, they are more consumption and less investment
