Harvard can kiss my ...

A deserving #1, Harvard has the most powerful alumni network in the world, the largest alumni donations in the world, and the most recognized brand name in the world. With unparalleled resources, a diverse and talented student body, and a beautiful setting for academics - you would be a fool not to go to this school if you have the opportunity.

Not a bad safety school if you can't get into Yale. From my grad experience, Harvard seems to exist strictly for the greater glory of Harvard, with students (and undergrads in particular) a distant afterthought.

Best school in country hands down ! yes there is grade inflation yes the grad schools get more attention but it just does not matter -- if you go there you have a head start on everyone else in any chosen field -- it is the only univeristy that is known and respected everywhere in the world

Boston's great; pretty campus; but the politics profs tend to be rampant socialists. Also the exmphasis on the grad schools mean undergrads get shafted. Princeton's far superior.

I think Harvard is the best basically because if you graduate from there, your degree is worth a lot in terms of grad school acceptance and future job placement.

Anything included in the Ivy League is good.

Excellent school. Any grade inflation is unimportant; these students are well educated and need not worry about their grades compare to anyone else's. Top school in nation.

Too urban.

Grade inflation there defeatspurpose of hard school and makes unrealistic transcripts.
