American Ivy League School

In the United States, "Ivy League" is generally a metaphor for colleges and universities, but only some schools are recognized as "Ivy League". The Ivy League consists of eight schools in the northeastern United States: Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University and Yale University.
