If you can get into Harvard, go to Harvard.

I think these times are going to be like the 60s. It mostly worked fine and kids got their degrees. Except Kent State.

Why would you want to insulate your kids from the very serious things going on in society? Isn't part of college about grappling with your beliefs and how you will contribute to a better world (or at minimum not make things worse)?

I'm affiliated with and am sending my kid to a college that is large and diverse and has significant Jewish and Muslim enrollment. I am sad for injustices suffered by both populations. In addition, one of my state's most interesting and independent politicians is from a Christian family with roots in Gaza. He lost innocent non-combatant family members in the bombardment of Gaza. I can't imagine silencing any of these people from expressing their grief, anger, and policy views in a campus setting. I don't actually think it does much to change the course of nation states but it does create awareness of wrongs. That is part of the atmosphere of truthful inquiry that I expect universities to uphold.

My DC switched from Harvard to UNC. He is very disappointed with Harvard.

I hope you are joking. Your kid just made the worst decision of his life.

Mine may very well make that decision as well. Can’t please everyone, certainly not every keyboard warrior.

I am guessing that this is someone on the Harvard waitlist hoping there is someone moronic enough to believe that Harvard vs UNC is an actual legitimate question.

Depends entirely on finances and the other school. Harvard is one of the very top schools in the nation. If admitted and you go to another school, it better be Yale, Princeton, Stanford or a strong contender for the group.
Calculus changes a bit for specialized academic areas and athletes with super skills/potential.
And could not admire Harvard more for their response to Trump.

Deciding between Harvard , Yale and Duke

I'd consider taking a gap year and starting college a year later when Trump craziness is over, or the world is on fire and college is pointless.

Wish we could connect in real life because DS is choosing between Harvard and UNC as well.

Create and account and send a direct message to each other.

Anti-Semitism? The president of Harvard is Jewish.

Continue with that BS though - most Americans are waking up to the truth that criticizing Israel is NOT anti-Semitism, and negative views of Israel are increasing among the young and old in both political parties. Your "anti-Semitism" BS isn't cutting it anymore. People are waking up.

Same. Harvard isn’t what it was.

Neither is America. People standing by as Trump destroys what took years to build. History in the making.

Yes it took years to build the advanced grift system to scam Americans taxpayers and that gravy train is gone.

Out of curiosity, what do you think is worthy of tax dollars? Do you think that all medical research needs to be privately funded? All social safety nets need to be private donations?

Much ado about nothing

The Trumpian elite will still send their kids to Harvard and not Hillsdale.

The grant cut punishment will not impact undergraduate or Harvard. These will impact hospitals and labs around Boston and the country. These fake antisemitism is really disgusting.
