[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can’t imagine spending more than 4 hours at Colby, Colgate, Hamilton, or Midd. But their boosters will tell us there is a Walmart and a Panera 15 minutes away assuming it’s not snowing.[/quote]

I went to Harvard and don’t really remember dining out or going shopping in Cambridge or Boston. Yes, there were outings on weekends on the T, but social life was on campus, not outside. Partly, Boston seemed so small and insular, having gone to high school in Manhattan.

My DC is a city kid but will be attending one of the SLACS in the middle of nowhere. I’m actually happy about it. I’d like to imagine there will be more bonding and community unlike places like NYU or BU or USC, schools initially favored by DC. Plus, a lot of money saved on DoorDash! DC can work in NYC or Boston or LA after college. [/quote]

hm did you actually go to harvard? probably not. many people there including when i was there ventured into harvard square a lot[/quote]

I’m PP. I simply meant, I can’t name one memorable cafe or restaurant hangout out, not that I did not venture out into Harvard Square and beyond. It wasn’t very exciting to me. Harvard Square is more lively now, but in a mall-like way. Mostly chains, like Tatte, Blue Bottle, Shake Shack. Meh. I miss Herrells Ice Cream, RIP, but that’s about it. Maybe Harvard Book Store. Whether a college has a one-street Main Street or a big town, all a college student needs is one cafe, one bar, and few late-nite eats. If I were a grad student, sure I’d want to be in a city.

One concern I have for DC is real winter weather. [/quote]
