Are all Harvard students preppy?

<p>I shouldn’t nitpick Harvard, really. Most, if not all, top 20 schools are pro-establishment havens bent on dishing out the next generation of technocrats and policy wonks. Questioning the inherent instability of the system is just not kosher at these places. It was seen as vulgar and crass to be anti-establishment before the economic crisis though.</p>

<p>Columbia and Brown were probably the only exceptions to the rule. Hopefully that will change with the growing discontent at the system and new creative ideas will emanate from these universities again.</p>

<p>The student body at Harvard, Brown and Columbia is probably interchangeable.
Funny, Brown, not Harvard, used to have the reputation for drawing rich kids, after John F. Kennedy Jr. attended.</p>

<p>I saw the thread title, thought of my son and his friends, and literally laughed out loud.</p>

<p>Me, too. My long-haired, cargo pants-wearing, public high school graduate would not be seen dead in a preppy outfit.</p>

<p>@Texassoccer84 - If you’re ever on campus again, make sure you pay to the Dudley Co-op ([Dudley</a> Coop](<a href=“http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~dudcoop/]Dudley”>http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~dudcoop/)) - it’s a little taste of Berkeley in Cambridge.</p>
