<p>How do you tell people that you are attending Harvard without sounding pretentious?</p>
<p>I have my butler do it for me.</p>
<p>If you’re not a pretentious person you won’t come off as pretentious</p>
<p>Don’t tell them unless they ask you. If they ask, just say that you go to Harvard. The truly pretentious response is “In Boston” because then you’re personally making a big deal about it, and they’re always going to inquire further anyway with “which school in Boston?”</p>

<p>Exactly. If people ask me where I’m going, I tell them straight up; to respond with some “euphemism” seems to me like an insult to the questioners maturity. Pretension is all in the demeanor and tone of voice, I find.</p>
