Harvard and Yale both offer a classical liberal arts undergraduate experience, by curriculum and philosophy. I’m not sure how liberal arts oriented Gtown is. So in this aspect, Haverford may be more similiar to H and Y than Gtown. Also, I 've heard quite a few Harvard and Yale kids complain about not getting enough attention as undergrads (or not as much as advertised). Among Ivies, undergrads at Princeton, Dart and Brown seem most happy with their experience. These three are known for putting emphasis on undergrad teaching, which is a defining character for a small LAC like Haverford.
