<p>Amidst all these "chance me's" and advice threads, I'd like to open up a fun discussion to shed some light on why we're all going through this long, arduous process; at the end of the day, we get to attend some fantastic university, and for most of us who frequent this sub-forum, that place could be Harvard. </p>
<p>For me, Harvard is a clear contender for where I want to be for the next 4+ years. As a child of a Harvard professor, I practically grew up in the eclectic shops of Harvard Square and in Harvard University's storied halls and libraries. Personally, the college's prestige doesn't compare to the feeling of comfort and nostalgia I have for the place, as well as much of the student body's friendly nature and incredible dedication and determination to all that they do. In short, Harvard feels like home. </p>
<p>Of course, everyone feels differently about Harvard. What I would like to know is, why do YOU all want to attend Harvard? What about it would make you jump for joy upon admittance?</p>
