<p>As your name suggests, Byerly Hall, you are outrageously focused only on promoting your alma mater. This seems to grow more important over time for you as Harvard continues to fall further behind Yale and Princeton each year in terms of endowment per student, and, after a long reign, no longer has either the lowest admissions rate or highest NMSC-NMS percentage. (I speculate this is a direct result of its relatively spread out undergraduate dormitory area’s deadening effect on student life). </p>
<p>Meanwhile, I am a nonbiased advocate and advisor for students who, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, strongly and continuously suggests overnight visits to their college choices – and only because the top colleges are so different from one another in terms of their quality of campus life.</p>
