As the parent of a D at Harvard and a D at Yale, this is my impression:

D at Yale is almost “cultishly” in love with Yale and deliriously happy there - to a point that I don’t get it, but I’m thrilled for her.

As for D at Harvard, I wouldn’t describe her experience the same way. It has been just as (or even more) fulfilling, but “happy” is not the prominent adjective I would use. My adjective to describe her experience would be “awesome.” From a its historical setting to its academics, ECs and peer group, I don’t think she could have done better, and she is thrilled with her experience there.
