[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, are you talking about all the people here in D.C. who "went to school in Boston?"

That always cracks me up. 1) Harvard is in Cambridge, 2) There are 53 colleges in the Boston area. For normal people, you are just being vague, not subtle.

Now the people who say "I went to school in New Haven" -- that's old school obnoxiousness.[/quote]

Of the people I know who went to the top schools, they don't usually say Cambridge or New Haven, but they will instead say what area.  ie: Boston, instead of Cambridge.  OP, the people I know who went to Harvard are really down to earth and successful.  You definitely don't learn where they went to school the first time you meet them - especially if it is the top law schools or PhD programs or professional programs!  They don't have anything to prove to anyone, least of all, a stranger. One of the many reasons why, when I meet cocky people from this area, I just assume they are poseurs - because the people I know who went to the (truly) great schools don't act like a-holes, IRL.  Think about it, if you really are all that, you don't have to go around advertising it, in any form - whether it is being an a-hole, or something else.  [/quote]
