The Ivy League is a group of eight private universities in the northeastern United States that originally formed an athletic conference and are now known for their prestige and selectivity.

Ivy League schools list

Here are the eight Ivy League schools and their locations:

  • Brown University – Providence, Rhode Island.
  • Columbia University – New York City, New York.
  • Cornell University – Ithaca, New York.
  • Dartmouth College – Hanover, New Hampshire.
  • Harvard University – Cambridge/Boston area, Massachusetts.
  • University of Pennsylvania (Penn) – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
  • Princeton University – Princeton, New Jersey.

These eight schools are the only official Ivy League members; terms like “Public Ivies” or “West Coast Ivies” refer to other selective universities but are not part of the actual Ivy League.
