<p>I too am a prefrosh who chose Yale over Harvard for a lot of the reasons mentioned here. I just got more of that “warm, fuzzy” feeling at Yale, more of that sense of school pride and community. And I appreciated the fact also that the administration itself, not just the students, seemed significantly more “connected” to the students at Yale. This was clearest to me when I went to the welcome address for both schools–Yale’s was lighthearted, welcoming, and funny, while Harvard’s was much stiffer and dull. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t harbor any particular negative feelings against Harvard, but I definitely agree that I found the overall environment (rather than just the students) more down-to-earth and comfortable at Yale.</p>
