8 Northwestern University

Northwestern University is a private research university in Evanston, Illinois, United States, with campuses in Chicago and Doha, Qatar. Northwestern was founded by John Evans, for whom the city of Evanston is named. It was formally incorporated on January 28, 1851 by an act of the Illinois General Assembly as Evanston College—a name that would change to Northwestern University before gaining university status in 1902. The original campus was built on what is now known as North Campus; within two years additional buildings were constructed for science laboratories and classrooms to accommodate a growing student body. In 1869 the Board of Trustees voted to use 30 acres (120,000 m2) of land along Lake Michigan for a new campus site.

However the school has been located at several different sites over its history including:

• Lake Forest Academy (1857–1860)
• First building on Lake Street (1860–1869) – current home of the DePaul University College of Law
• Old Main Building (1869–1907) – current home to Leighton Hall
• New Main Building (1907–1952) – current home to Walter Athletics Center

9 Cornell University

Cornell University is a private Ivy League university located in Ithaca, New York. Although it was founded as early as 1865, Cornell has only been consistently ranked in the top 100 since 1997. This is likely due to its reputation for being a science and engineering-focused school—despite having a liberal arts program with some of the highest rates of student satisfaction in the country.

The Association of American Universities (AAU) describes itself as “a unique coalition of 62 leading research universities devoted to maintaining a strong system of academic research and education.” Cornell belongs to this prestigious group which includes Harvard University, Yale University and MIT among others.

11 Brown University

Brown University is a private Ivy League research university located in Providence, Rhode Island. Brown is the seventh-oldest institution of higher education in the United States and one of the nine Colonial Colleges founded before the American Revolution.

Brown today is known for its undergraduate programs in biology, engineering, economics, computer science; international affairs; public policy; urban studies and planning; and neuroscience.[7] The university has been recognized by Forbes’ America’s Top Colleges,[8] Newsweek’s list of Top 100 U.S. Schools,[9] Times Higher Education World University Rankings[10] as well as many others.[11][12][13] Brown was one of three colonial colleges chartered within Rhode Island, along with Trinity College (chartered 1663) and Yale University (1701).[14][15]

12 Amherst College

Amherst College is a private liberal arts college located in Amherst, Massachusetts. It was chartered in 1821 by a group of Congregational ministers, led by James Pierpont and Theodore Dwight Weld. The school admitted its first students on October 14, 1825.[1] In 2015 Amherst enrolled 1,848 undergraduate students and employed 200 faculty members.[2]

The college’s alumni include Ulysses S Grant; former Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O’Connor; American Revolution general Paul Revere; civil rights leader Robert F Kennedy; novelist John Knowles; naturalist John Muir (founder of the Sierra Club); Nobel Prize-winning chemist Linus Pauling and current President Barack Obama.[3][4]

Amherst has historically maintained an all-male student body because it was founded as an all-male institution. For the first half century after its founding Amherst did not accept female applicants because its trustees feared that coeducation would lead to sexual impropriety among male students living in dormitories together with women who were forbidden to marry before they had reached 21 years old.[5] After several failed attempts at coeducational studies at other colleges,[6] two professors from Amherst proposed opening a separate women’s college instead[7]. In response Jane Merrill Hall[8], a graduate student at Vassar College who was then teaching English at Wellesley College,[9][10] approached her friend Mary Woolley[11].

Woolley agreed to take charge of creating this new institution which became Radcliffe College in Cambridge MA
