A chart made from the leaked Ashley Madison data shows which elite American universities have the most cheaters

The leaked Ashley Madison data has given us a lot of insights into the cheating habits of people around the world.

We've learned which cities have the most cheaters and which American states like to cheat the most. And we've even learned which three ZIP codes in the US were the only ones without Ashley Madison accounts.

But now the data analysts at Dadaviz have taken the cheating microscope to America’s most elite universities. The chart below shows how many Ashley Madison accounts were registered with email addresses connected to the top schools in the US, like @cornell.edu.

This data will obviously capture mostly current students or professors — and those brazen enough to use their official emails to try and cheat.

But even so, the differences are interesting to mull over. The difference between MIT (116) and Caltech (17), which are often regarded as culturally similar, is particularly noticeable (though MIT has significantly more students). Cornell leads the entire Ivy League and the rest of the field by a large margin — of course, it does have more students — with Columbia and Stanford universities in second and third.
