[quote=Anonymous]I went to Harvard. I only have a few friends from college; most of my friends are from grad school or my volunteer gigs. I don't think my friends from college aren't stuffy. One orders bulk microwave Mac N' Cheese off of the Home Shopping Network. I have been to a Star Trek convention, and I'm typing this at a table I bought for 10 bucks from a guy named Topher who was moving. I don't think we'd qualify for tea with Nana, even if we were inclined toward twinsets and pearls. I do go to Harvard Club events sometimes, and while most people aren't stuffy, there is a measurable percentage that are pretty insufferable, i.e. concerned with status, obsessed with their own kids getting into Harvard, so concerned about sounding as if they have high standards that they just seem hyper-critical. As a previous poster said, Harvard takes a really mixed bag of people. Almost all have good verbal skills, but that is the only thing they all have in common. [/quote]
