Time magazine just published a great article entitled “Who Needs Harvard” on why the current Ivy League colleges are, in summary, overrated. The basic tagline is that an elite career doesn’t stem from an elite college.
They also gave a list of only 25 schools across the country named as the “New Ivies” — “schools with exceptional educational programs and campus offerings that have seen a rise in stature to rival the Ivy League and other powerhouses in competing for top students.” Sweet.

Time magazine published something worth reading? That’s news in itself… :]
Anyway that is totally right. The Ivy League can snort my nuts (Ron will back me up), and Chapel Hill deserves press like that.
