A Read the introduction. What other universities besides the ones mentioned in the introduction are considered top-notch educational facilities?

In the United States, there is a group of educational institutions known as Ivy League universities. What does 'Ivy League' mean exactly? The term arose from those New England universities that had ivy growing on the walls of the buildings that dotted the campus landscapes. It has come to mean much more than that, however. As these particular American universities offered the best standards of higher education in the country – and at quite a cost, the term 'Ivy League' became synonymous with 'privileged elite', a meaning it still carries today. There are eight universities which belong to this club and whose sporting teams form the Ivy League athletic conference, including Harvard, Princeton and Yale, and all of these universities offer grants and scholarships so that students from meagre means can have an opportunity to attend, providing they have the smarts.
