[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi!  DD was hoping to get a chance to find out about Harvard by attending their weekend for accepted students (which was supposed to take place today through Monday).  It's been canceled due to the recent events in Boston.  We've never been to Cambridge.  She's read a lot about the less-than-ideal social life for Harvard undergrads.  If you have a student at Harvard, or know one, is he or she able to enjoy life?[/quote]

Yes, many friends that went to Harvard undergrad and loved it. Frankly, unless your DD got into Yale, she'd be crazy to turn down Harvard. Beautiful campus and the future presidents/ supreme court justices/ etc. will be in her class.[/quote]

Like Alito, Sotomayor and Kagan.  Oops, they went to Princeton.

Honestly, for undergraduate, I would pick Yale over Harvard for the prettier campus and more cohesive social structure.  Harvard is a great place for graduate school or law/business.[/quote]

Bitter Princetonian who didn't get into Harvard OR Yale. (Like almost every other Princeton kid.) Keep that chip on your shoulder, it's so becoming.[/quote]

Ouch.  So mean and quick to go for the jugular.

I didn't apply to either, but visited friends at both and thought Yale (and Princeton) offered a superior undergraduate experience compared to Harvard.  If that makes me "bitter," so be it.
