Elite Education

The alma mater of 20 British Prime Ministers. Known for its tailcoats, the Wall Game, and producing people who run things.

Famous for the Harkness table method, where students sit in a circle and teach each other while the teacher nods sagely.

The 'School of Kings'. It has two campuses (one for winter skiing) and costs more than most people earn in a decade.

Teaching since 1096. It's basically Hogwarts without the magic, but with more rowing and Latin grace before dinner.

The oldest institution of higher learning in the US. It has an endowment larger than the GDP of many small nations.

Where students drop out to become billionaires. The unofficial incubator of Silicon Valley.

The holy grail of medical research. If you want to cure cancer or just brag at dinner parties, this is the place.

Where biology meets engineering. They don't just study life; they try to hack it.

Home of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, which has produced more Nobel Prizes than most countries.

The Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. The birthplace of much of the modern digital world.

The department that gave us Google, Yahoo, and Netflix. Basically the engine room of the internet.

The quiet achiever of robotics and AI. While others talk, CMU builds robots that can do backflips.

Home of the Institute for Advanced Study (technically separate, but spiritually connected). Where Einstein hung out.

The breeding ground for Fields Medalists. If you like abstract algebra and baguettes, this is heaven.

Newton's college. If you can survive the Tripos exams, you can probably solve anything.

The Case Method capital of the world. Where future CEOs learn to say 'synergy' with a straight face.

Harder to get into than HBS. Focuses on 'changing lives, changing organizations, changing the world'.

The 'Business School for the World'. A one-year intense party... I mean, program... for global nomads.
