<p>Natalie Portman most definitely does come back to campus every once in a while. She was here back in April and hung out at my club, and actually kissed one of my friends (she was here for City Step which she's pretty involved with).</p>
<p>^^So there you have it. Come to Harvard and you might get kissed by Natalie Portman. That prospect alone must be worth about 30 or 40 reasons.</p>
<p>can someone expand on number 11? Anything as in what, exactly? Major in anything, the amount of student clubs to choose from?</p>

<p>WRONG SIR WRONG</p>
<p>After watching that gangsta rap vid, Natalie Portman is a reason I would NOT want to go to Harvard...</p>
<p>oh come on! It's funny! Although...a lot of Ivy League students are known for doing a lot of cocaine...and wearing fancy slippers.</p>
<p>I don't know where they would find the time...but that's the word on the street.</p>
<p>Lol, yes, the spee. Good catch.</p>
<p>ok "prestige" gets repeated on your list more than once. kind of sad.</p>
