Ivy League -- which is worse?

I went to an ivy league university. And some people would sit there debating how to answer the question if people asked "where did you go to school?" And they would come up with all these ways to dodge the question -- like "I went to school in state X" or whatnot. I have found that if people say "I went to school in Massachusetts" then people just say "oh, where" and it drags on the conversation. I think it's really arrogant to think you're so special you have to try to hide where you went. If you went to Harvard and someone asks, then say "Harvard" and move on. If you went to Yale, don't say "Connecticut" because that just invites follow up questions. Just say "Yale" and move on. I think it's worse and more arrogant to try to hide where you went than to just answer a question factually if people ask. It REALLY annoys me when people feel they have to lie for some false humility's sake. What do you think?

Ivy League -- which is worse?
I agree. I do not believe that anyone should be ashamed of anything. You can not change the past and if you wanted to do it you should be proud or at least willing to accept the consequences of what you have done. If you kill someone take the blame, if you went to an ivy league school take the looks.
Reply:I agree.





I went to Cornell.





See, that was easy. ;)
Reply:There is a chick at my work who went to Harvard, and she throws it in everyones face. But it does make really funny jokes for when she is sick.
