Ben Simmons you realize the curricula at state universities is very similar to that of an Ivy League.

[@elijah-yv6sj]

@@bensimmons6149 theres tons of reasons people dont go to ivy leagues they get accepted in, maybe location, money or personal problems. Theres really good schools that aren't ivy leagues like stanford or UCLA sometimes those might be a better option for u depending on what your studying.

[@jewslikefunk]

You earn xxx $ 10 years after entering college. Most of those sums are in the 70,000/80,000 mark. I thought one would earn that much as they graduate, as some of my friends recently have. Could someone elaborate?

[@adr77510]

This is pretty misleading. Columbia and UPenn topped the list just because a lot of people from there get business degrees, which are very high paying. The reality is that a degree from any ivy is very impressive and a degree from UPenn won't look any better than one from Brown. It really just goes down to which you like the most, because what's important is being happy

[@abrahamlincoln8748]

Should students' future income really be such a defining factor in a university's quality?

[@bryancho100]

well wanting a successful career is a big reason kids want to go to college lol?

[@OliverBenning]

So success is just money?

[@bryancho100]

***** Of course not but but like I said, many students pursue higher education so that they can make money. Regardless of whether someone wants a big income or not, a college's responsibility is to enable their students.

[@OliverBenning]

Bryan Cho good point

[@SS-cc2cv]

Oliver Benning no but it’s one of the few quantifiable measures of it. Would you rather measure their success based off off of intangible factors like how well they were prepared during college or how physically healthy they are because all those things are much more influenced by other factors.

[@johnpoole8451]

OTOH nearly every year Princeton finishes comfortably in front of all others in alumni contribution participation. Because of Princeton’s generous financial aid, its students graduate with little if any debt. Starting salary out of school is only a small part of a fulfilling life. If it is more important than that, one should probably go to Wharton.

[@nautical1078]

David Filip for engineering/CS Cornell is probably the beat Ivy, the others have stronger business and medicine schools. Also Cornell’s colleges are not public, they are land grant, meaning they get funding from NY but are still private and function the same way as rest of the colleges within Cornell (NY students get lower tuition because of that).

[@davidfilip3246]

I'm Stuff harvard has better engineering and brown has better CS. Due to the land grant they have to meet a quota for transfer students from NY community colleges.

My dude, how luck people in asia are! College are so cheap that many of use just went the "entrepreneur way" right after graduating anyway!

[@sefer-nv6cn]

Nope. For us, college is still expensive despite tuition fees in every single state-owned university being subsidized by the government (for undergraduates only). But with the cheaper fees, we have fewer facilities and our universities does not have the level of polish that US universities have. However, despite that, the impact of capitalism on education has been reduced so any person could have the chance to become a successful person if they tried hard enough. This is only for Indonesia though idk about the rest of Asia.

Because you people are lazy and can’t get into a good college. Instead of working hard to get into a good college and earning degrees, you want to pretend it is unnecessary. It is clear that the most successful people in the world, titans of industry, CEOs, and presidents, have been to college, specifically the best colleges in the world. Don’t fool yourselves; graduates from universities always end up on the top.
