<p>Not sure why YouTube links aren’t allowed, but I think BrownBear was linking to the (amazing) scene in Good Will Hunting where Matt Damon’s character humiliates a snobby Harvard grad student (do a google search for “good will hunting bar scene” if you haven’t seen it).</p>

<p>In any case, it’s a movie - don’t use it to make your college decision. 99% of Harvard students aren’t like the guy in the clip (in fact, with Harvard’s financial aid initiative, more students probably resemble Matt Damon than the d-bag guy these days).</p>

<p>LOL just<em>forget</em>me that is such a false statement. The michael bolton look alike is the typical Harvard guy. The irony of the scene is that Matt Damon went to Harvard</p>

<p>The Harvard students I know are far more likely to say they “go to a school in Boston” at a bar, than to expound on the “economic modalities of the southern colonies”!</p>

<p>Yes, Harvard students (like Damon) are unoriginal enough to win an Oscar for their first produced screenplay.</p>

<p>If the scene involved a Harvard GRAD student then Damon is full of it. The grad students at Harvard are the friendliest bunch at that school. Contrary to popular belief, the Business school students are really the happiest bunch of students I have ever met. The Law School is probably the only “snobby” element of the Harvard grad scene and even then it’s not anything like what was shown in GWH.</p>

<p>JHS, obviously if he valued the Harvard education he would have finished up his dagree and graduated…</p>

<p>Anyone would drop Harvard in a heartbeat if instant fame and fortune were within reach.</p>

<p>brown bear you seem to love discussing overrated institutions…i saw you on anothr thread lolz.</p>
