Ivy League or…University?

There are always going to be people that will think they are better than you. They might act differently, or represent themselves in a way where you know that is not who they really are. It just takes one person to know all of that and the rest to understand it. It kind of feels as if the one who thinks he or she is different is being brainwashed some how. Thinking he/she is big and tough, all clever and sophisticated. Have you ever wondered how much of the difference between both these of individuals or groups of people’s education is? What exactly is making these two separated? Ivy League or University? Which one?

Many don’t know or clearly understand the difference between an Ivy League college or a regular University. But, this article might make you see the truth of these two much better. As society sees it, as well as many professors, an Ivy League school is known to be the best. The school is highly noticed for well education, as well as great professors. A University is known to be great as well, but not as great as an Ivy League, correct? Growing up, I remember my dream school being Princeton because it looked like a castle and I was always told that it is an excellent school that will get you somewhere. It’s true, but also false, here is why. According to Kristine Tucker, a freelance writer, she says how the big difference between an Ivy League and University is the Name Game. Tucker states, “The title Ivy League alone separates from the pack. There are benefits associated with an Ivy League education, such as high employment rates after graduation, high paying jobs...” These types of schools just give you a higher opportunity for a job right when you graduate. Some job recruiters even look at the one’s who attended an Ivy League before they look at the one’s that didn’t attend. This “Name Game” differentiates from a regular University, but those Universities can also get you a job very quick, you will just have to start networking and building connections more. There is no quite difference between these two types of schools, it is how people see them as. Both people can come out of those schools successful. What would you prefer to say in this situation?

I believe that in order to get a great job and be successful, it doesn’t matter where you get your degree from. It is the matter of how you represent yourself, and how much effort and thought you put into your work. That is what really counts and will get you far in life. School shouldn’t be the only place to teach you, but you have to teach yourself as well. If you tell me, I think I learn more by researching things myself and seeing so many things with my own eyes. It opens up your mind into a whole different perspective. Imagine a battle between both the schools, who would win? Or would it be none?
