<p>Harvard’s thinking about it in the long term, but IMHO there’s a trade-off with the sense of community when the school gets too big. I would have mixed feelings about them going to 7000 undergrads, and I’d be totally opposed to them moving toward 10,000.</p>

<p>Remember that all those students who don’t get into Harvard (or wherever) aren’t exactly left out in the cold. They’re going to go to other excellent schools.</p>
