[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard is bigger and much more integrated into Cambridge and city of Boston. New Haven is kinda dumpy, kids stick much closer to campus. [/quote]

Harvard campus is much dumpier than Yale.  But agree Boston is bigger [/quote]

The Harvard campus being dumpier than Yale really surprised me.  They do have some buildings with beautiful architecture, but they also had a very brief, weird period in the last century where their buildings look like they were built by the same architects that design prisons.[/quote]

Yeah, I didn't care much for Harvard architectural. It was so colonial,  and I grew up in VA where everything was colonial or a 20th C homage to colonial. I liked Yale overall with the exception of the Brutalist buildings that looked like they were plucked right out of DC. Who knew DOE got relocated to New Haven?

My kid is at a different Ivy and loving it. Friend who went to H got kind of snobby (was really nice before). Friends who went to Y --both nice, but one down to earth and the other a bit full of himself.  Who knows if the colleges were a big factor or if this would have been the case anywhere.[/quote]
