For the 2nd time in 3 years, Yale is more selective than Harvard

<p>Are you seriously going to contend that New Haven is just as lively as downtown Boston or the lower East Side of Manhattan? Give me a break, I have tons of eli friends who are now here in New York and none of them would even suggest that two scenes are comparable. And for the record, Princeton, Boston, New Haven, Palo Alto all offer different things, its more of a matter of personal taste than where the latest housing developments are going up...</p>

<p>And while I post about once a year, its nice to see you're still trolling Yale like crazy. I remember you from wayyy back when. At least when Byerly trolls Harvard, you don't feel like he's retarded.</p>

<p>NYC=NEw Haven...LMAO...Poster X is a great example of why where one went/goes to school has little bearing on logical thought:</p>

<p>The City of New York is a city located at the southeastern tip of the state of New York. It is the most populous city in the United States of America. New York City is one of the preeminent global economic centers, with its business, financial, legal, and media organizations having worldwide influence. New York is an important cultural center, with many museums, galleries, and performance venues. As the home of the United Nations, the city is a hub for international diplomacy. The current mayor is Michael Bloomberg. New York City comprises five boroughs, each of which is coterminous with a county: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. With over 8.2 million residents within an area of 322 square miles (830 km²), New York City is the most densely populated major city in North America.[3] The New York metropolitan area, with a population of 18.8 million, ranks among the largest urban areas in the world.[4]</p>

<p>The city has many neighborhoods and landmarks known around the world. The Statue of Liberty greeted millions of immigrants as they came to America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

"Culture just seems to be in the air, like part of the weather," the writer Tom Wolfe has said of New York City.[61] Numerous major American cultural movements began in the city, such as the Harlem Renaissance, which established the African-American literary canon in the United States. The city was the epicenter of jazz in the 1940s, abstract expressionism in the 1950s, and the birthplace of hip hop in the 1970s.
