[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard, from an overseas perspective. We lived in Asia and it is said "Harvard" is probably the most valuable 'brand name' in all of Asia. It's an instant door opener in the business community in some countries.

I think I'd also rather be a student in Cambridge than in New York. I love NY, but the idea of four years there in 'student mode' would be a bit rough. [/quote] That's interesting! We're a rather "Americanized" Asian family, so what we know about the Asian perspective on name brands has really only been hearsay. And yes, NYC really is quite overwhelming. DS's main concern is if all his Columbia classmates opt for NYC-based socializing instead of on-campus fun.[/quote]

I didn't go to Columbia so take this with a grain of salt, but I went to a nearby Ivy and visited a friend at Columbia one weekend. The definite vibe was that Columbia students did their socializing off campus in the NY clubs. I did that for that one weekend and it was... well it was an experience. I was glad that was not my college experience. [/quote]
