Harvard prestige vs. Harvard education

College Confidential Community

<p>Which one would you choose if you can choose only one?</p>

<li>You attend Harvard (or other institution that you consider as the best) for four years, and you can do whatever (attend class, participate in clubs, read some books in library, etc.) you want, but you don’t receive a degree, diploma, recognition, and so on, and you have to sign the contract that you will not tell anyone about having attended Harvard (Otherwise you will be killed…:))</li>
</ol>

<p>->In other words, would you choose EDUCATION?</p>

<li>You cannot attend Harvard, but you will receive a diploma and degree from the college and you can tell all around that you graduated Harvard and they have official record of you.</li>
</ol>

<p>->In other words, would you choose PRESTIGE?</p>

<p>Good question to ask.</p>

<p>I've heard that the Harvard education is actually pretty bad. They spent way too much of their time on the grad school.</p>

<p>Now if the question was in relation to undergrad, I'd choose PRESTIGE.</p>

<p>What? this question is weird</p>

<p>Why would I want to go to Harvard if I cant recieve a degree?! I mean, the prime point of going to college is to get a degree!</p>

<p>And for number2, is that other college a community college or what? Because if it's a college with equal educational caliber such as Yale/columbia, wouldn't you get the best of both worlds? - great education plus a degree <em>from</em> harvard..</p>

<p>Anyway, to answer generally, i'd pick PRESTIGE - but only because I'd have a degree..</p>
