Am I the only one to notice it's "Harvard College"

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>University always entails the ENTIRE ACADEMIC INSTITUTION (any centers of studies, institutes, grad schools, undergrads etc. etc.) For example-- you know how ppl always rant that Harvard undergrad is notoriously bad? That's because all the top professors are in their own little worlds doing research with graduate school students. Anyway-- schools are usually called the full name though such as:</p>

<p>The Ivies Usually referred to as "Universities"
Harvard as this thread is about.
Yale University (Undergrad, law, medicine, management schools and more)
Princeton University (Woody Wood... that's about it, no law/business/med)
Columbia University (college/seas, law, medicine, business, journalism etc.)
UPenn (CAS, Wharton, Nursing, SEAS, law, medicine, business etc.)
Cornell (7 undergrad schools, law, medicine, business schools)</p>

<p>-- as a side note, with the exception of Princeton, all of the aforementioned schools have their own Medical Centers which conducts state of the art research and treats patients ("teaching hospital"). Princeton really should be a "college" given it has very few (relatively) grad programs with the notable lack of L/B/M schools... but I think because of it's sheer prestige University is more fitting. </p>

<p>Dartmouth is more or less a college, and Brown is much more undergrad based too.</p>

<p>Dartmouth College is the only Ivy that doesn't also call itself a university, but functionally Dartmouth is a university.</p>

<p>This is getting tedious...
Already clarified, now let the thread die</p>

<p>Most of a moderator's work is behind the scenes, so I'm replying to this rare public post by the moderator to say thank you for a great job of moderating a sometimes rather contentious forum. </p>

<p>Best wishes to all the current applicants to Harvard who will hear their admission news this week.</p>

<p>Sure cure for a tedious thread: stop reading it.
Best way to help a thread die: stop posting on it.</p>

<p>You've got no one to blame but yourself.</p>
