If you want to study under great academics and do research for famous scientists, Ivy League may be a good idea.

That's why I made a distinction between hard sciences and humanities.

The vast majority of Ivy faculty on the humanities is commie. There is no way of putting it mildly. You can't study under great academics in these areas, unless you become yourself a flaming liberal.

You are right, but just because somebody is a commie doesn’t mean they can’t be a brilliant professor. I studied in Cornell, and my favorite professor was a belligerent liberal, but also a great expert on renaissance Florence. We would have a back and forth about Bush and the war, but when it came to Italian history, his instruction was priceless.
