[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard.  One of the most unimpressive, inarticulate tour guides we had anywhere.  The overall event felt like they were phoning it in and didn't care what people thought.[/quote]

Interesting- I expected to hate this tour/info session and to my surprise was really impressed by ours. It’s not like Harvard needs to put a big effort in to these tours, but I thought they did a great job. Only thing I didn’t like is the crowd size, probably at least 800 people so it really did feel like the tourist activity that it is. My dd didn’t end up applying there in the end but we both came away with a more favorable view of Harvard than we expected to.[/quote]

Harvard and Cambridge are incredible. And who decides on a school based on the tour guide? I’m surprised so many people are swayed by that instead of the feel and look of the campus.

This is stupid. I went to MIT and Cambridge is meh, nothing special. Harvard square gets boring after you have been there 3 times. I could never live in Boston. Too small, too white, racist, too cold. Summer is nice though.[/quote]

Cambridge is definitely not "meh." Charming, world-class city a river away from another one.[/quote]

Cambridge is definitely not the "meh" place it once was 25-30 years ago. However, it's a bit of a stretch to call it both "charming" and "world class"...[/quote]
