When you hear the phrase "Ivy League," what do you think of?
The eight schools of the Ivy LeagueBrown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton, and Yaleare among the most selective and academically rigorous institutions in the world. Each Ivy has its own history and personality, and each attracts brilliant and accomplished students from around the world. These students flock to idyllic campuses in the northeast to learn, live, and party with their peers. In the 2004-2005 academic year, Sean-Michael Green conducted research for a new book titled, What I Learned in College: A Year in the Ivy League. He spent approximately 30 days at each Ivy, sitting in on classes, speaking with students, and participating in activities. He joined the freshmen as they arrived on Cornell's campus in August, and he was at graduation at Princeton in May. Along the way, he maintained a travelogue of his adventures. The book is a funny, narrative non-fiction account of this year. It will be published and available in the fall of 2009. The Research Schedule:
Travelogue Thus, I am keeping a travelogue. I will try to update this travelogue weekly, so that students can keep track of my project, and my friends and family can find my body if I disappear.
