Subject: Re: Colgate Good but not Excellent (follow-up) Author: Go...'gate [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 17:37:15 11/10/02 Sun In reply to: Go...'gate 's message, "Re: Colgate Good but not Excellent?" on 17:06:46 11/10/02 Sun That US News stuff is Johnny-Come-Lately. Take a look at Petersen's, Barron's and the Princeton Review. Seems like this argument with GU vs. the rest of the PL will go on forever.

I am guiding my son to look at PL schools over Ivy when he is ready. I would not want him to read this posting. Who will be more successful in life? the student who gets a 4.0 from a PL school, or the sdudent who gets a 1.9 from an Ivy school, but got in because his/her rich parents are alums? FYI, I spent my freshman year at Columbia, hated it, and transfered to Fordham where I received a great education and got personal attention. Law school and a master's followed. Many would argue that I stepped down, but you get out of life what you put into it. This whole "my school is better than your school" line is a discredit to the very schools we attended. Keep the rivalry friendly and on the field and give the school-yard bravado to our age-appropriate kids.

Once you ean the right to get the education, you have to make the most of the opportunity. Good luck against Towson.

I wished the others on this posting who argue over which school is better, smarter, more Ivy league etc. would have your balanced view of reality. I look forward to showing my son Colgate's beautiful campus in a couple of years, knowing what a fine education he would receive there over any Ivy school. It would be great to see at least two PL schools make the playoffs! Fordham, Colgate or Lehigh would all be good! Go 'gate!

They are not completely objective, and nobody in the real world memorizes the specifics anyway. I live in the Midwest (far away from the location of the PL schools). I can say that on a day to day basis, when the subject comes up in conversation out here, people have equal and tremendous respect for Fordham, HC, as well as the other Patriot League schools. I think that is what matters most, not what some league table says. I've never heard anybody question the association of one school with the rest. (except for Towson!!)

I misread the stream and thought you were M, who is the person I have an issue with: he said Fordham should be removed from the PL along with Towson as per your suggestion. Again, sorry.
