The Ivy League schools are a group of eight prestigious private universities located in the northeastern United States. They are known for their academic excellence, selectivity, and historical significance. The eight Ivy League schools are:
- Brown University (Providence, Rhode Island)
- Columbia University (New York City, New York)
- Cornell University (Ithaca, New York)
- Dartmouth College (Hanover, New Hampshire)
- Harvard University (Cambridge, Massachusetts)
- University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
- Princeton University (Princeton, New Jersey)
- Yale University (New Haven, Connecticut)
These schools are part of the Ivy League athletic conference, which was established in 1954, but the term "Ivy League" has come to represent elite education and tradition beyond athletics
