The Debate

The debate i have identified. Is a tough one to distinguish, and it will be even tougher to establish a winner. Both sides provide enough evidence to sway me in either direction. My question has shifted to whether or not the experience of an ivy league is worth it over another institution. And what is it that gives the schools such a sense of entitlement for their graduates success? While one side says, the Ivy League "grooms" its students for success, nurturing them and making certain that they do succeed. Is the university doing so to keep its highly accredited numbers high? And on the other hand, students at large public schools aren't granted the personal touch like the students at ivy league schools. They tend to be "mass educated" and students can drop out and fail a class without notice. However, students who do excel in this situation, do so on their own, showing that they can achieve success independently. So, the debate is difficult and I have much more research to do to venture both sides of this topic.
