這是正確的嗎?在美國,常青藤盟校包括哈佛、耶魯、普林斯頓、哥倫比亞、布朗、達(dá)特茅斯、康奈爾和賓夕法尼亞。千真萬確。常春藤聯(lián)盟及其大學(xué)因為其學(xué)術(shù)成就和社會聲望而被世人熟知。

They are also known for high tuition. At Harvard, costs of attendance, which includes tuition, fees, room and board is 60,000 a year. Can you say scholarship? It's also selective. Last year's acceptance rate was less than six percent. So, Ivy League acceptance is an accomplishment in itself, especially if it's to the whole league.
