<p>Maybe I misspoke. It is not a facade, in all senses of the word. Such prestige (in some ways) may make the school a better place in terms of recourses (fa). I agree with you but I have a lack of words for what it is. </p>
<p>It makes you better off, not a better person? Well, CC is def not as good as Harvard. I think by the time you get into the league of schools which parallel Harvard (solely because they have so much recourses) you will be countering with schools that are super prestigious.</p>
