You have probably heard of the term ivy league schools, but you may not be aware of what makes a school a true ivy league school. Not all schools are considered ivy league schools, so here is some information to explain what ivy league schools are all about.


Generally, ivy league schools are considered schools that offer a higher education. When the term was first being used in the 50s, it referred to a group of eight private higher education schools in the Northeast. These eight schools played each other in sporting events and were considered a group. The ivy league schools within this original group of eight include Yale, Brown University, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania.
