So ivy league schools are just elitist? The quality doesnt make that much of a difference (if there is at all)?

2019-11-21 18:44:21 UTC  

i would say so , the course material is no different and professors just as capable

2019-11-21 18:44:26 UTC  

but it is more of the "brand name"

2019-11-21 18:44:45 UTC  

again UTD is STEM oriented and alot of engineers come out of there, but yea , if you say M.I.T .........

2019-11-21 18:44:58 UTC  

Ivy's are good for graduate degrees

2019-11-21 18:45:00 UTC  

people are going to gravitate to M.I.T over UTD because of name recognition

2019-11-21 18:45:16 UTC  

Which schools in your opinion would never fall into the progressive ideology? Unis in republican states?

2019-11-21 18:45:28 UTC  

yea but is M.I.T IVY league? i don't think it is? (citation needed)

2019-11-21 18:45:45 UTC  

and i would imagine a graduate degree / program from M.I.T would be fairly valuable?

2019-11-21 18:46:27 UTC  

It's prestigious enough and is in Cambridge, Mass, like Harvard, so I'd assume so

2019-11-21 18:46:52 UTC  

@beatless
Every university is fallible.

2019-11-21 18:46:56 UTC  

Every single one.

2019-11-21 18:47:40 UTC  

I went to a small university in central Tx (Schreiner)

2019-11-21 18:48:20 UTC  

When I was there, at a tiny school of just about 4k students if you count graduates and postdocs, the rot was already starting to creep in

2019-11-21 18:48:45 UTC  

Now
The only institutions I'd assume to be free of it would be the Academies.

2019-11-21 18:48:56 UTC  

But, good luck getting in to one of them.

2019-11-21 18:49:47 UTC  

This got me thinking, even if a nonwoke foreign student went into a STEM degree, ivy league even. He would be susceptible to the progressive ideology even if he's a damn good engineer, and would espouse/be easier to agree with progressive policies.

2019-11-21 18:50:18 UTC  

Depends on where he was from, but yeah.

2019-11-21 18:50:18 UTC  

What are the Academies?

2019-11-21 18:50:33 UTC  

West Point
Annapolis
The Air Force Academy

2019-11-21 18:51:22 UTC  

The US military Academies that require obscene levels of mental and physical acumen, US citizenship, and a letter of recommendation from a congressman.

2019-11-21 18:51:45 UTC  

*Your* congressman, in particular.

2019-11-21 18:51:49 UTC  

I know a local who went there for uni and graduated from an Ivy league school, is a big fan of KPop, and is female. And I wouldnt doubt she's accepted the woke rhetoric.

2019-11-21 18:53:09 UTC  

Is the demand for the Academies high? Or do they accept fewer students?

2019-11-21 18:55:28 UTC  

The Academies have about 4K students each.

2019-11-21 18:56:22 UTC  

That's about 20K students in total

2019-11-21 18:57:02 UTC  

Out of a student body in the US of over 76 million

2019-11-21 18:58:51 UTC  

Harvard has a student body of over 22K

2019-11-21 19:02:31 UTC  

So the Academies are much harder to get into than the Ivy League ones? Where do the graduates end up?

2019-11-21 19:03:03 UTC  

In power

2019-11-21 19:03:18 UTC  

Instead of in a Starbucks

2019-11-21 19:04:50 UTC  

Government? Heads of state and military departments?

2019-11-21 19:07:56 UTC  

Nobody cares.

2019-11-21 19:08:13 UTC  

Protective services "we are limited"

2019-11-21 19:08:16 UTC  

fuck you

2019-11-21 19:08:25 UTC  

@beatless
Yes
Exactly there

2019-11-21 19:08:50 UTC  

And that's why I avoid Seattle like the plague

2019-11-21 19:09:27 UTC
