<p>both schools are pretty much on par with academics, but you need to look at their environements especially (as mentioned before). I have some friends who like the urban placement of Harvard, and others who do not. The biggest complaint I hear always seems to be about the student body - my friends describe it as either snobby and elitist or anti-social nerdy (there have even been books written about Harvard’s pretentious student body). I’m not trying to bash Harvard, but I think it’s an important fact you need to consider for your decision and one you probably wont find on the Harvard board. </p>
