Surprisingly attractive girls on the campus. Doesn't compare, obviously, to the state schools, but way better than I expected.

That sucks. I feel like getting into HLS or getting $ at CCN sucks because it seems like such a great opportunity... until you realize that ITE is going to rape you.

Makes me wish I hadn't majored in useless bullshit and had been able to swing some interesting job out of school

Yeah. There was a LOT of talk about the HLS "imprimatur" and how everyone goes on to do such great things, and your network will be amazing, etc. etc. That got a little annoying.

There are obviously some d-bags here. But honestly I think people generally go to the highest-ranked school they get into, so the annoying people here are just slightly more competent, on average, than those from CLS. There are a ton of great people here too, but I'm sure many of them weren't wasting their time at ASW. I guess the Harvard name might inflate some egos but I honestly doubt it's much different at any T14 school in that regard.

i think you can pretty evenly divide the harvard kids into two groups: the ones who went to some TTT for undergrad and now plan on buying a shitload of harvard sweatshirts and wearing them whenever they travel on a plane, and those who went to a decent undergrad and are over all that bullshit

Douches come from all over the place. There are people that drop the H name everywhere and those that don't, but I don't think it breaks down by where they went to UG. From my experience the Ivy UGs are a little worse, but people in Fed Soc are probably on average even worse than Ivy UGs (and many of them went to places like TTTexas).

"imprimatur" seems particularly douchey because it's the combination of a slightly douchey idea (going to a school because of the prestige of its name) with a very douchey word

Yeah that's pretty bad. Never heard that word used on campus to be honest but i wouldn't be surprised. I don't think the "average" HLS student thinks HLS students are special and bound for greatness any moreso than CLS or SLS students. I always talk with my friends about how random and stupid the law school system is.

to be fair, the people at ASW tend to be the ones who drink the kool-aid the most. those people also tend to be the ones who read the One L book and thought their classmates would be sabotaging library books before they got here.

i like boston and nyc about the same. haven't spent more than a couple days at a time in new haven, and never really more than like a block from the yale campus, but i hear it's pretty ghetto. then again you can take the metro-north in to nyc for the weekend.
