[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Harvard is said to be less focused on academics than most elite colleges [/b]and Harvard students are said to be more focused on a kind of pre-professional networking.  At the same time, it is said to be have a relatively poor social scene and a worse party scene than any of the other top schools, particularly for freshman.  This seems like a contradiction to me.  Wouldn't a school obsessed with schmoozing and networking be known for its vibrant social scene?  [/quote]

Still waiting for OP to provide proof for this weird statement.[/quote]

OP has answered this question many times.  [/quote]

I actually forgot what the question was but recall it being dumb. Remind me[/quote]

The poster is unhappy that OP has not cited "proof" for the anecdotal observation that Harvard has deemphasized its focus on academic life in the college.  OP has, multiple times, noted that this is a qualitative observation made by many, and other posters have provided articles from the Harvard student newspaper noting the same.  The poster, however, repeatedly demands "proof," presumably in the form of some sort of empirical study and will keep making demands until OP  submits such proof. [/quote]
