OK FINE HERE’S CORNELL: ruclips.net/video/didS6o8hmPc/видео.htmlsi=PyC30SN4lka83PeO also, I revisited Yale/New Haven recently and had a much better experience. Still wouldn’t choose it over the top 3, but I might move it up a spot
Penn, Columbia, John Hopkins are located in tough neighborhoods where you have to be careful walking outside University gates at night.being in the heart of Big Cities of Philly, New York& Baltimore,MD.....Yale is a beautiful campus (architecture-wise) is located in New Haven Ct. Off Yales campus some of the surrounding areas are rough ; Like Penn & Columbia (fully gated campuses); You alao have to be carefull walking around there at night....**Darthmouth Princeton and Brown are located in beautiful rural small towns where the surrounding arèas are pretty safe, quiet & truly connected although boring at times you can take the train or bus to the major metro cities like Boston Philly, or NewYork. Enough Said.
I go to Columbia, been here for a minute now. Columbia isn’t that rough. Yes, it’s in NYC, but it is not as rough as you’re making it sound. It’s in a quiet part of the city where it isn’t as busy, and there is constant security roaming the streets (Columbia police, NYPD and now private security). Columbia’s 116th subway station is pretty safe too, pretty quiet compared to the rest of the city. If you think Columbia is a tough / rough neighborhood, wait until you see the rest of NYC. It only gets rough once you get closer to Morningside Park / closer to Harlem, and that’s predominately at night. During the day it isn’t that bad.
@@literatinycagreed - when I interned in NYC for a summer last year I lived on 99th, had a friend on 118th that I walked to a bunch and felt totally safe around both areas. When I walked through Harlem during the day was it was fine for the most part too
I like that you chose to focus on campus life/ambiance instead of purely academics. There’s plenty of other videos about that and this gave a nice perspective.
When I was at Harvard, I stayed in a hall of residence. In my case it was Commonwealth Hall and at some point I was elected Student President. In this capacity I met Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother on her visit to the USA. I was in the Department of Classics and so had to read classical Greek and Latin. A visiting professor came from University College London and I followed him back to London to do my Ph.D there. I practiced a Japanese martial art, so I finished my Ph.D at UCL and came to Japan to teach at Hiroshima University. I am one of the President's of the Atomic Bomb Museum and, of course, have met many A-bomb victims.
Honestly, as someone who attended both Columbia and Harvard for different degrees, I ended up having much fonder memories of Columbia's campus. Sure, it's compact, but I love that about it. And the Beaux Arts/Neoclassical style of the architecture is so beautiful to me. It felt so homogeneous and centralized, which gave it a very clear identity within the city. Harvard, by comparison, is loose, sprawling, and an even mix of gorgeous classic and ugly modern buildings that never felt like a single, solidified campus to me. I guess I just prefer that feeling of sanctuary for life at a university.
Interesting perspective! It makes sense, I can see how Columbia has more of an identity than Harvard would. Definitely comes down to personal preference at the end of the day, thanks for sharing!!
As a Cantabrigian/Bostonian, I'm glad you liked our city(s) so much! Boston is a wonderful place full of so many people of different backgrounds and interests, and because of all of the colleges in the area (roughly 1 college for every square mile of land), the city never feels stagnant, despite being so rooted to its history. Cambridge is also most certainly a part of Greater Boston as a city (due to some failed annexations in the early 1800s, they never incorporated their suburbs) and easily reachable in a few minutes by bus, train, bikes, or walking. (it's honestly slower to take a car most of the time!) To anyone planning on going to one of the wonderful institutions around here, welcome and enjoy!
Oh neat! Lots of people have been telling me I need to make it there so I think im going to get to Ithaca at some point in the next couple of months, looking forward to it
hence the "(on I-95)" in the title and "all 6 Ivy League schools along the way" within the first 10 seconds of the video! I ended up visiting Cornell later on and just posted that video last month, and am hoping to make it to Dartmouth in the next few months
Brown's campus is not limited to the main green area either. The person filming the video, simply didn't know anything about the overall area and just assumed that the campus was only the main green, which is very odd. Also, Brown is in Providence, RI, which is definitely a college city. In addition to Brown, there's the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence College, Johnson and Whales and a few other schools in Providence...
@@ralphjanis2059 right but I also like how it’s still pretty close to both NYC and Philly, whereas the closest thing to Hanover is 2.5 hours to Boston and for Ithaca it’s 3+ hours to NYC. Obviously that’s a factor for myself but might not be for others - but that’s just a prediction, when I eventually visit we’ll see if my mind changes
@@kenichi407 well yes, this was meant to be more of a reaction/first impressions video as I stated in the beginning :) I do appreciate the feedback tho

Thanks for making these for all the foreign students thinking about applying!

Brown is not located in a rural small town. It's located in Providence, RI, which is the capital of Rhode Island and most populous city in the state.

@@matth1139 thank you!! Totally agree, that’s what my goal was so I’m glad
Thank you for the great video and showing UPenn as the first school!!

And...???
1. Princeton. 2. Harvard. 3. Brown. 4. Penn. 5. Yale. 6. Columbia. No Cornell or Dartmouth? I would put Dartmouth after Brown. Never been to Cornell.

Cornell has beautiful gorges running through opposite ends of the campus as well as a nice view of Lake Cayuga from Libe Slope.
Oh neat! Lots of people have been telling me I need to make it there so I think im going to get to Ithaca at some point in the next couple of months, looking forward to it
0:50 philly is a safe and good city idk what ur talking abt
Missed out on Cornell :(
Really enjoyed the video. great video.
Thank you!!
Cornell? Dartmouth? You did not rank every Ivy school as you stated.
hence the "(on I-95)" in the title and "all 6 Ivy League schools along the way" within the first 10 seconds of the video!
I ended up visiting Cornell later on and just posted that video last month, and am hoping to make it to Dartmouth in the next few months
Thank you for this!!
You didn’t visit every ivy tho
that’s why the title and first 10 seconds say “on I-95” lol
Columbia has other significance campuses in the city tho. It's definitely not limited to main campus.
Brown's campus is not limited to the main green area either. The person filming the video, simply didn't know anything about the overall area and just assumed that the campus was only the main green, which is very odd. Also, Brown is in Providence, RI, which is definitely a college city.

RAH NEW VIDEO 🚨
Dartmouth?
Can’t believe you didn’t visit Cornhell
Really wanted to but it was just too out of the way. Next time 🤞
Awesome video! Applying to universities in the fall and this definitely helped since I can’t afford to go tour all of these different universities lol
Happy to hear!! That’s the goal of these!
8:55 To get out and have fun??? YOU BETTER BE STUDYING, SON!
Dartmouth is definitely a must-visit. amazing campus
Noted…if I am back in MA soon, I’ll def make the extra drive to get up there
@@ShivNC looking forward to it 👍
I went through Harvard. It was in a car and it was on a Saturday.
Never visit a college campus on a Friday!
Fair point hahaha
Do you know what the word EVERY means?
(that's why there's parentheses in the title)
@@ShivNC you like Princeton because it’s a real college town. So are Hanover and Ithaca, which makes your conclusion about your ratings seem silly…

completely useless video, dude obviously didn't do any research before trying to "explain" each school
