<p>actually, harvard has a pretty high retention rate compared to other ivies, so i would say that harvard undergrads are not as unhappy as you might think. i took a visit there, since i also had to decide between columbia and harvard.</p>
<p>What did you end up picking?</p>
<p>you prob already picked your school by now but if u feel transferring columbia is the way to go. The students are super fun but work very hard. Columbia spends tons of money for their students opposed to the other ivies. Once i was going to the library on the main campus to study and the randomly had a Hawaiian L’ou. Also at the other ivies many of the kids think they are the best and are very snobby. (in my opinion) Everyone is nice at Columbia and the city is the best part. Its currently ranked the 4th best school in the country.</p>
