Harvard: Research and Destroy

Indeed, many Harvard students have found, upon arriving in Cambridge, that professors are preoccupied with research and do not much care for their students. "I don't think that I've had any opportunity to talk with my professor this whole semester," says freshman Elizabeth Keany.

Harvard and the Dartmouth Man

Dartmouth Professor H. H. Horne wrote this memorable comparison in the late nineteenth century. Though the College has changed a great deal since his time here, many of his observations remain very pertinent to the Dartmouth and Harvard of today.

A Wicked Cool Bar

If you're friends from Harvard tell you they don't go to the Grille...they are lying. If they tell you they only go because their friends go...they are lying. If they tell you that they only go because their fake id/jacked-up-library-card won't get them in any other bars...they are not lying.

Harvard University is not without its attributes. The reputation is amazing. The facilities are unparalleled. The dorms are the nicest I've ever seen. In fact, the only major problem with Harvard seems to be the student body. There is very little in the way of social life at Harvard, and the students seem to like it that way.

Strange Responses at Berkley
