<p>I don’t mean to be rude, but there are many great schools in NYC and schools that are comparable with the league. I feel as though the name is still a factor. </p>
<p>For me, I like Harvard because of the Widener Library (and some certain rare book selections), its close proximity to multiple museums, Oxford Street, this building that looked like a church, but really wasn’t with the names of alumni killed during the civil war (I believe; I can’t remembe the name). I also have dislikes, like that Harvard time thing that is seven minutes after the hour or something and a few insignificant gripes. But the people at Harvard are the best and they are also a large part of my liking for Harvard. </p>
<p>I think we should look at each school in the context of what it excels at and offers. I really liked Harvard, but Princeton was a no-go for me. I think if you acknowlege things specific to a school, you’ll seem more interested; no one wants to be taken advantage of, not even an ivy.</p>
