Lol, my daughter is in the process of applying to grad school and is currently working at a research institute in Boston. She is sticking with programs in Boston, NorCal and SoCal. She definitely did not want to spend the next 5-6 years in New Haven. Being in not such a great town such as New Haven does make for a better undergrad community since options outside of campus are limited. Similar to @GoodPoint, my friends who graduated from Harvard and I are pretty much in consensus that the “community” of the Houses is not as strong as that of the Residential Colleges. Why stick around Harvard’s campus when there is so much stuff to do in Cambridge and Boston, especially other college and university events.
