<p>id like to dispute the usefullness of #1. harvard fa allows for a laptop to be purchased if outside scholarships pay off certain things AND the paid preadmit weekend transportation is much better at Harvard bc they are more flexible and offer more options that prob cost more. so i think while the endowment may be bigger, harvard fa is better</p>
