It’s time to study like a rock star! Many rock stars are smart enough to know that it’s cool to go to a top-rated school. Let’s check out these musicians who went to Ivy League colleges.

Rivers Cuomo

      The lead singer and guitarist of the band, Weezer, is an Ivy League rocker, graduating from Harvard with outstanding performance. Rivers Cuomo earned his bachelor’s degree in English after 10 year on-off work at this famous university.

John Legend

       The Grammy Award winning singer and songwriter had scholarship offers from Harvard, Georgetown and Morehouse before attending the University of Pennsylvania, where he majored in English with an emphasis on African American literature. John Legend famously contributed to Kanye West’s album, “The College Dropout (辍学者)”. He always supports education reform and has even taken part in a public performance for dropout prevention for free.

Lisa Loeb

       It was just a few years after she graduated from Brown University with a degree in comparative literature that singer Lisa Loeb had a hit single (畅销的单曲唱片) with her song “Stay”. The smart rocker made history with “Stay” as the only artist to ever have a number one single before being signed to a recording contract.

Greg Graffin

       The lead singer of the L.A. punk band, Bad Religion, earned his Ph.D. from Cornell University. He later worked at the University of California at Los Angeles as a life science professor.
