Snapchat geofilters: The Ivy League edition
Ivy League universities are commonly thought to be sophisticated and prestigious -- but that doesn't mean their students don't like to have a little fun, especially on social media.

Yale University seemed to be the only Ivy League school that did not have a geofilter.
A Twitter page shares new geofilters as they are added to cities; it is updated almost daily. According to the Snapchat website, users can upload new filters as long as it is original work and approved by the Snapchat team.

And it seems like Ivy League students are doing just that.
