It's so true. My family and friends have all been in shock that I'd even consider Yale over Harvard. "But it's HARVARD! Isn't it better?"wheresthethesis wrote: Right there with you this weekend.
If it's any consolation, many people will probably be more impressed with Harvard than Yale
It was my own reaction, honestly, when I first got here five years ago to start my graduate program and met one of my housemates who was a law student. She told me she got into Harvard and Yale both and I looked at her like she had three heads and asked why she went to Yale over Harvard.
New Haven has its charms, but I do earnestly believe I will like living in Cambridge far better than living here.
