don't get me wrong, life at the Ivies can be fun as well, but the main focus is EDUCATION. isn't that what university is for though? from my experience with my own friends, there is a great deal of school spirit at the Ivies, much more than my own undergrad. if she does want to participate in activities outside of the classroon, there are many options for her. greek life, sports, culture, etc are not something exclusive only to the non-Ivies. sure, she may not "shine" at a school like that, but does it really matter? is being a "star" at a subpar school better than being "average" at a very rigorous school?
well, good luck.
