The Ivy League actually refers to an athletic conference:

Here’s some more information on Rice University:

It’s an excellent university that’s not easy to get into.

Most Americans definitely know Northwestern and Notre Dame. Many know University of Chicago. The less known are Rice, Emory and Vanderbilt. HOWEVER, they are all extremely good school and yes, they are to be considered prestigious.

It’s a very respectable school, and its name is known in the US. It is not an “Ivy League” school. It doesn’t have quite that level of name recognition or prestige. But it’s a very strong school.

It’s not an Ivy league.

It’s a good southern school.
