<p>Do Harvard students generally meet and party with MIT students? The two schools are so close and I know that you can take classes at either school if you get into one of them. What other schools do Harvard people party at? BC, BU, Tufts?</p>
<p>It really depends on the Harvard student. I never go to parties on other campuses--my cousin is a freshman at BC and I haven't visited her once. I don't really think that Harvard students hang out with MIT kids that much, either.</p>
<p>Some people (especially those dating students at other schools) do meet up with students from other colleges or go hang out on other campuses, but I think for the most part, people do the whole social/party-thing around here. Which works fine, I think!</p>
<p>I think it depends on the individuals involved. My daughter has some friends at MIT and a very good friend at Wellesley that she occasionally hangs out with, but mostly it's with other Harvard kids.</p>
<p>Right. Also it's really easy to see friends in Providence. My best friend goes to RISD and I see her every month or so, at least.</p>
<p>oh that's good... I'll be able to visit my friend at Brown! :)
What about Yale? Are H students known to make a bunch of friends during The Game or whatnot?</p>
<p>Im pretty sure that sports rivalries inspire hatred instead of love...</p>
<p>Yeah, depends on the person. I know if I go to H or MIT I'll be visiting the other one to see friends (mostly Siemens people, haha) who I know are going to be going there. But others..........</p>
<p>candlize, if water balloon fights and gloating are signs of friendship, then there's plenty friendship at the Game.</p>
<p>As for me... I'll have probably taken two or three classes at MIT by the end of my stay at Harvard.</p>
<p>Isn't it great how most the yalie's second choice was harvard, and how most people at harvard would have gone to yale if they didnt get in at harvard?</p>
<p>Er actually, I'm guessing most people who go to Harvard would take Princeton or MIT (depending on major) as a second choice. Yale is third rate. ;)</p>
<p>I love how you come up with these statistics, Shark. Your lack of a source really makes me believe them. Your word is just that good.</p>
<p>Isn't it funny how most Yale students' first choice was Harvard? ;)</p>
<p>Well, it's at least true for me. Yale was definitely my 2nd choice...</p>
<p>Yale's in a four-way tie for 2nd place for me. So it could be anywhere from my 2nd to my 5th choice, am not quite sure yet! :p</p>

<p>No. In the case of Harvard/Yale it's not hatred so much as respect tinged with a lot of good-natured ribbing and gloating. When my daughter caught a van pool to the Game this year, where did she stay in New Haven? In a hotel? No, she and her friends crashed on the dorm room floor of some Yale girls -- girls they had never met prior to the game but who had generously agreed to take in visiting Harvard students. The same thing happens in reverse when the game is played in Cambridge. Doesn't sound like hatred to me.</p>
<p>Yeah I would agree with coureur... when I visited my friend at Yale, she and her roomies weren't half as passionately anti Harvard as people on this site, and my friend at Harvard doesn't take the rivalry to extremes either... I think its something that got kind of blown out of proportion on CC. People who actually go to either school respect the other one, and its because of that respect that they can make jokes about the 'inadequacy' of the other.</p>
<p>Yes, it would hopefully be assumed that anyone intelligent enough to get into Harvard, Yale, MIT, or any other top school would be intelligent enough not to bash the other as inadequate :p</p>
<p>OP, if you're interested, PM me and I'll give you the email of my friend Christina, the self-appointed "bridge" between MIT and Harvard.</p>
