Criticism from The Crimson

<p>"This article discloses how ignorant and incompetent Americans are. I will be attending Oxford next year, and I am so glad I did not opt for an idiotic education at Harvard. Oxford undergrad >> Harvard undergrad.
Honestly, in Europe we know about the shortcomings of American: only speak one language, narrow-minded attitude, imperialistic ideology, and freaking puritan attitude. Yet this article just proves my point further. I hope I will not be meeting spoiled brats like the two ill-educated people who authered this articel.</p>

<p>Honestly, if your president is as idiotic as students from the supposedly best university in the world, that means I am staying away from the states."</p>

<p>Veritable proof that bookish intelligence does not translate into common sense and rational thought. As a Harvard undergrad, I place our “competing” institutions on the same playing field; indeed, I think most secular universities are sufficient for attaining a higher education. The way you incorrectly blanket entire populations as “ignorant” speaks more about your world view than it does of mine.</p>
