<p>When I was on the Yale tour, someone asked the guide the difference between Yale and Harvard. Without missing a beat, she replied, “Students at Harvard are very proud of their school, but students here love Yale.”</p>
<p>When I was at Harvard, the video they showed bragged on how a student was using the same sink as FDR–and it did look that old. I did get the impression that the attitude was, “Hey, we’re Harvard. We don’t care.”</p>
<p>My kid was more attracted to the other Cambridge school, MIT, “This looks like a lot of fun.”</p>
<p>A kid we know was set on Brown, until she fell in love with Harvard on the tour, which she now happily attends. </p>
<p>There’s no accounting for taste. </p>
