Ivy League
'Ivy League' is slang for the 7 oldest and most famous universities in the U.S. (Harvard, Yale, and so on).
Ivy is a plant that grows on old brick walls, so the Ivy League universities have a lot of ivy-covered buildings.
There is no Ivy League in Canada, but the closest thing is the University of Toronto. It is the oldest, biggest, and most famous university in Ontario.
