Best Ivy League University on Long Island?
What is the best Ivy League School on Long Island?
I have been debating this for years as I have attended two on Long Island. I think Adelphi and LIU are the best. Narrowing it down to one I find difficult though!
LOL, some people claim that the two schools I mentioned are not Ivy League schools when they clearly are. They are both private and really expensive, catering to upscale students for the most part. Academic standards are high too.

You and Jack C and Matt J should all chat about this compelling subject that has plagued mankind since the first Ivy League school was opened on Long Island......which I believe was Nassau Community College.

there is no Ivy League school on Long Island. The closest Ivy League school would be Columbia University, in NYC.
Just b/c a school is private, expensive, doesn't make it Ivy League. The female equivalent are the Seven Sisters; though most, though not all, of both have gone co-ed.

They clearly are not Ivy League schools. Yes, those schools may be private and have high academic standards but that does not earn them the title of "Ivy". Most people have never even heard of the schools that you mention unless they live in the region. The Ivy League schools include: Harvard, Yale, Princetion, Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, UPenn and Columbia. These schools were established 150 or more years ago and have earned their titles through reputable research programs and true academic excellence. They are globally renowned while LIU and Adelphi are not. I'm sorry but just accept the fact that the schools you are mentioning are not Ivy League.

Sorry sweetie, but they AREN'T Ivy League, and LIU certainly does not cater to mostly upscale students. Perhaps you should go to the Harvard, Columbia, Yale, Dartmouth, etc. websites to see a REAL Ivy League School.

There aren't any Ivy League Schools in Long Island.
The only ones in New York are Columbia University, and Cornell, both of which are NOT on Long Island.

There are no Ivy league universities in Long Island buddy. There are eight Ivy League universities: Harvard, Princeton, Yale UPenn, Dartmouth, Columbia, Cornell, and Brown University. The nearest one to you is Columbia in Harlem. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_league)

There are NO ivy league schools on Long Island. Additionally even though they are private, they are not top-tier schools.

There are only 7 Ivy League schools in the country and none are on LI!
Just because they're private and expensive doesn't make them Ivy League!
Get a clue!
