An Ivy League education will always remain an unquantifiable investment for most elites and nothing excites members of this circle more than the mention of a prestigious institution as their Alma Mater.
As a matter of fact, many Ivy League graduates wear their educational background as a badge and they really can’t be faulted for it considering the pocket-draining fees they doled out to acquire a degree from such schools.
Aside from the very visible perks of an Ivy League education to graduates, these elite schools are said to also invest more financially in their students than second-tier schools. In fact, ‘non-Ivy League’ graduates also find it very honorable to be affiliated with such schools, especially those topping the list of the Ivy League pack.
Following the popularity and the respected names of these prestigious universities, they are ranked every year by different agencies based on their offerings, which include standard of education, high level of employability, influence and networking benefits.
