<p>Not according to the stats. </p>
<ol>
<li><p>Harvard undergrads are far more likely to be attending their first-choice school.</p></li>
<li><p>Harvard admits are far more likely to be happy about the invitation - and to accept - than admits at any other school.</p></li>
<li><p>Harvard matriculants are more likely to stay - and to graduate - than students at any other college or university in the United States of America.</p></li>
<li><p>Although free to do so, almost NO students ever transfer out of Harvard; on the other hand, THOUSANDS seek to transfer in.</p></li>
<li><p>Alumni support from graduates of Harvard College is virtually unparalleled, at no school its size is alumni support stronger. This is the main reason Harvard has the world’s largest endowment, and why it regularly receives more in alumni donations than any other college or university in the United States of America.</p></li>
<li><p>Few would trade their 4 years in Cambridge for 4 years anywhere else.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>This negative cliche about “happiness” - like so many others about “lack of undergrad focus” etc etc - has it primary appeal to partisans of other schools - such as you, Bulldog - who are reduced to sniping about intangibles when faced with so much tangible evidence that the top students, now, as in the past, overwhelmingly prefer Harvard when given a choice.</p>
