Maybe some students choose Harvard for the name, but ALL STUDENTS??? 'Nuff said.

<p>I have to agree. I know at least 2 students who chose to go to Harvard at least partly because Harvard offered them the best financial aid package. They were guys from modest backgrounds, and Harvard offered them full rides, whereas other schools offered them packages of part-grants, part-loans. One guy was even joking to me that he wanted to go to Berkeley but he couldn't afford it, so he had 'no choice' but to go to Harvard. He had a particularly dry and cynical sense of humor.</p>
