Forget about the Columbia Bookstore— School House, a “socially responsible collegiate fashion brand,” has just launched their Columbia collection. Prices are even steeper than those at our local fashion joint (a.k.a. the Bookstore), but at School House, your money goes to a good cause: School House is committed to paying their employees fair and living wages. The company was founded by Fulbright Scholar Rachel Weeks, who studied ethical manufacturing in Sri Lanka where the company still maintains a factory.

With only three styles in the Columbia collection, our choices are looking pretty thin compared to those of some other schools. We took a look at the other Ivies and NYU’s collections and did a little comparison to see which school’s students would look better while…

…studying in the library at 3 a.m. before midterms:

Columbia hoodie

Princeton hoodie

Verdict: The “Princeton Prepster Hoodie,” which comes with a detachable “hood/scarf” (perfect for hiding bleary eyes and wiping away the tears of frustration induced by multivariable calculus), wins this battle—the Columbia option just looks a little generic.

…taking a nap on a lazy Sunday afternoon:

Columbia yoga pants

NYU briefs

Verdict: Definitely NYU. Everyone knows that the best place to flaunt your school pride is on your ass.

…rolling out of that raging party and straight into bed:

Columbia T-shirt dress

Yale T-shirt dress

Verdict: Well, if wearing pajamas in public is your thing… alright, let’s call this a tie. At least it’s better than the horrifying, rhinestone dog tag-tanks over at the school bookstore!
