The Ivy League is an American collegiate athletic conference comprising eight private research universities in the Northeastern United States. The term ''Ivy League'' is typically used beyond the sports context to refer to the eight schools as a group of elite colleges with connotations of academic excellence, selectivity in admissions, and social elitism.

The other two colonial colleges, Rutgers University and the College of William & Mary, became public institutions. Ivy League schools are v ...
