Nah, could just as well be NYU or Columbia. We don’t know which one.

I most often hear kids hate those two rather than Yale.


Everyone hates Columbia


- 10000

I LOVED Columbia.

-Columbia alum

Only the knuckleheads on DCUM hate Columbia...


Bill Maher is an alum and he seemingly hated his college experience…to the point he trashes college as a concept now.


He went to Cornell.

What about Yale did you hate? And where do you think you could have liked better?

Every grad student I've ever met from both school's hated them but maybe it's just being cold and in grad school

No, Bill Maher attended Cornell. And he has never said he had a bad experience. His position is that college is not for everyone while he reaps the benefits of his education. He’s a hypocrite. Not that any of this matters an iota.
