[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UCLA and USC tours on the same day.

Expected to prefer USC but UCLA was more impressive in every way. Blew past expectations [/quote]

Did you go inside any buildings?  That’s where UCLA fell apart for us, beautiful on the outside, government quality on the inside.[/quote]

Consistent with being a public university.[/quote]

Then why is Harvard such a dump?[/quote]
Lmao Harvard isn’t a dump. It’s clear you haven’t actually been [i]inside[/i] Harvard [/quote]

You were saying?  Disgusting.

Great, thank you for conceding you actually haven’t been inside Harvard, no need to waste anymore time [/quote]

[b]Wow... someone doesn't know how to read!  Here, let me help you.

But student frustrations with Harvard housing range from pest and maintenance issues to concerns about overcrowding and accessibility even in the College’s renovated living spaces.

“I can’t even count how many times we’ve seen them,” Sarah L. Cho ’27 said of mice in her dorm. “I, myself, in my own single within the suite have caught five.”

Though six of the Houses have undergone full or partial renovations as part of Harvard’s more than $1 billion House Renewal project, half of the College’s Houses remain in a state of disrepair. The freshmen dorms in the Yard are in a similar state, and no plan exists for their renovation.

In interviews with The Crimson, more than 20 students spoke about the state of Harvard’s undergraduate dorms. Some say they’ve grown accustomed to living with rodents and the occasional maintenance problem in dilapidated houses. But for others, housing problems raise broader concerns about how run-down living spaces may detract from quality of life at Harvard.

“There are some parts of the house that kind of look like it’s kind of falling apart — there’s a lot of holes in the walls, like, in the rooms,” Singh said.

Aside from rodents, Yoon found himself dealing with both a burst pipe and a faulty window that had “been built incorrectly.” The leaky pipe resulted in a liquid with a “really funny” smell dripping from his bathroom ceiling, while the window — which does not close properly — led to Yoon returning from winter break to “a mound of snow” on his bed.[/quote][/b]

Proof you've never been there - you just cite to whatever trash you can find online.  Go and visit and see for yourself - signed, an alum[/quote]

So, actual accounts from CURRENT Harvard students are “trash” in your opinion?  Too, too funny.  If you are an actual “alum,” sounds like you’re too blinded by your own ego to admit that the state of these dorms - today - is grotesque.  You’d think a school with Harvard’s endowment would be mightily embarrassed by this.  And you’d think that arrogant ahole alums would be too.  *shrug*[/quote]
