How Obsessed with Harvard are you?

<p>Everyone knows Harvard is the best, and most of us aren't too proud to beg, but what is the real thing that draws you away from Princeton, Yale and Stanford and makes you want to go to Harvard? What's one thing you've done that qualifies you for obsessive compulsive about Harvard? ;)</p>

<p>Me: My two best friends are both going to be in MA (MIT and Wellesley) and I really need to be there too, but more urgently... There are three old cemeteries around the Cape Cod area rumored to be haunted by colonial spirits, and Harvard just happens to be close enough to go visit those cems and old enough to have references and resources about the residents of the cems when they were alive O_O <8D</p>

<p>Um, the freshmen dining hall. I can't go to Hogwarts, so that's the next best thing....
but really, for me what made Harvard stand out among the Ivies was Boston. It is the most fantastic city. That, and when I took the tour, it really was like falling in love. Halfway through the admin's speech, I knew I'd be applying. Before that, I had no intention of even applying to any Ivies at all!</p>

<p>Obsessive? Probably joining CC... aren't we all obsessive compulsive on here?</p>

<p>Princeton and Williams disagree.</p>

<p>GO YALE!!! WOO!!!</p>

<p>Everyone knows you can't have a color for a mascot anyway. :p</p>

<p>Go Harvard!!! Woo!!!</p>

<p>as do most colleges that aren't harvard, kwu.</p>

<p>Everyone* does agree that Harvard is teh l33tness.</p>

<p>*Everyone refers to only Harvard students and/or faculty and no one else in the world, as obviously, their opinions don't matter. Obviously. >_></p>

<p>Don't tell Dartmouth or Cornell about the color thing</p>

<p>@ munchkin: obsessive compulsive about harvard, not college in general. :P</p>

<p>@laststop: agreed! XD i got this really nice map of massachusetts and according to it, harvard is only 1 hr and 46 minutes away from cape cod, which totally makes harvard better than everyone else XP</p>

<p>@ everyone who disagrees: -_-'' then why did you apply harvard??</p>

<p>@ Dreamscape: It's a pretty good school. Wouldn't mind going there.</p>

<p>Harvard...blah</p>

<p>but Hahvad...omg!</p>

<p>^^^ did you apply only to one school? i should hope not. simply because i acknowledge that not everyone regards it as the best institution of higher education does not mean that it is not a great school. i would LOVE to "end up" at harvard.</p>

<p>"I will love any college that will accept me over any college that will reject me"=Isn't that much more realistic and practical? =)</p>

<p>no. would you love any woman who would marry you more than one who wouldn't?</p>

<p>^Nice. Pwned.</p>

<p>I am obsessed with Harvard. It is all I can think about at this point.</p>

<p>Obsessed enough to reply to this thread.</p>

<p>On a scale from 1 to X, I am 1636 obsessed with Harvard :)</p>

<p>not that obsessed because i doubt i'll get in
i'm the kind of person who can become obsessed in whichever school i end up going to</p>
