Why is Harvard considered the flagship of colleges?

<p>I’m not going to even enter the debate of who is best.</p>

<p>The only thing I will add goes back to the original post and how the OP hated their visit. My daughter hated her first visit. She hated her second visit. She said there was no way she was going to consider Harvard. After 9 other applications, she decided to add Harvard on because it was an easy application. It wasn’t until January, when she got called for her interview and decided to refresh her memory about Harvard, that she actually began to research what the school could offer her. Previously, because the info session and tours turned her off, she did not look any further. Going into the interview, she now realized what she had not learned about this school months before. Coming out of the interview, she now loved Harvard and was glad that she had applied. It got even better when she was accepted. Now, she is very happy to be there and is happy with the opportunities she has. The info sessions and tours for any school can be deceiving.</p>
