[quote=Anonymous]Well . . . for starters, I think the guys would smell you from a mile away.  When I went to Harvard Law no one was thinking of marriage.  No women were there for an Mrs. degree.  The men just wanted sex with no attachments because of the tremendous pressure on them (Go rent "Paper Chase" - the movie with Houseman, not the series - one of the issues it explores is multiple failed personal relationships while at HLS).  We had mixers on campus but it was mostly just us law students.  When the men did go off campus, it was by bus to the seven sister campuses but it was simply to get sex, as in Simmons Mattress.  i can't think of anyone in my law school class who was actively dating an undergrad or a woman off campus.  We had a few romances amongst ourselves but we were working too hard to care, really.  So there were the occasional hook-ups.  Same was true in practice - most of us married very late.  I'm afraid if you made yourself available you will just be used for a night or two.

There were zero weddings during my 3 years there.  Most of the women waited until their 30s to get married so were well-along in their practices.

There is, however, a Harvard Magazine that services all the schools.  in the back of it are a number of old-fashioned ISOs - I often read them because they are so interesting, sometimes well-written, and funny.  But those ads are mostly from older Harvard men and women seeking one another but if you can find a copy of that (probably online) you will see all the ads.

There are also some dating services that link Ivy graduates.  A friend of mine is using one right now.  They also (MANY! agencies) advertise in the back of Harvard Magazine.  I don't think you mentioned if you finished your B.A. . . . . ?

Perhaps a more recent grad will have better info for you.  Unless times have changed, the people in Harvard professional schools aren't there to date or find marriage partners.  And as for the libraries, they are tightly secured so that only Harvard students (or MIT) can use them, so you won't be able to get in to study.[/quote]
