<p>stefo: If you don't like the facts that I presented based on my personal experience, there's nothing that I can do about it. You might not want to go to Harvard for the prestige, but why can't you believe that there are those who do?</p>
<p>EDIT: I'm not saying that H-students sit around all day talking about the fact that they go to Harvard. In fact, most of them are too involved in classwork, EC's to care about it too much. But there certainly are moments or self-satisfaction/pride, especially with ppl in their hometowns, when they can say "I go to Harvard."</p>
