Ok So heres my experience. Harvard University is truely a wonderful school—an academic powerhouse teeming with boundless opportunites to take advantage of. Unfortunately after my first year at Harvard I had no choice but to transfer out. I ended up transfering to Syracuse University. Yes Harvard is a great school but the amount of snotty, rich kids that feel they must crush your ego to become at ease with themselves are just overwhleming. It seems as though Harvard is truely talented in admitting students of this characteristic. As for faculty accessibility, that's a big joke. Professors are way too full of themselves and are only into their own research. Overall, I was miserable. I felt inferior and alone.

Now as for Syracuse University, I indeed experienced the same snotty and arrogant attitude from students there as well. At Syracuse there are a lot of rich kids with parents of a high profile. But heres what sold me about Syracuse. Not only was their journalism school one of the best in the country if not THE best, but professors are there for you when you need them. Thus, you end up understanding the material you are learning better. I coulsn't believe how comparable the work load was to Harvard. It was definitely challenging for the two years I have been here already. But overall, I am truely grateful for this. It is definitely preparing me for the real world. Honestly, I have come to realize that Harvard and Syracuse aren't that different of a school. The academics are top notch, there are snobbish students at both schools, the opportunities are boundless and both schools are in the middle of horrendous cities. (coincidentally)

Please, my one advice to you is to at least have a two night stay at whatever school you are thinking of. That should be enough time to give you a feel of the school and a general gist of whether or not you woudl fit in. That way you don't have to go through the hassle of transfering.

Harvard is not for everybody and Syracuse is not for everybody. At both schools you must possess grits, thick skin, and a go-getter attitude along with hard work ethic. It's sink or swim at these schools.

So Harvard isn't the social material but was it worth the education you received during that time?

Also I have been thinking of Harvard, but after I read a lot of the "critical" and "negative" reviews of Harvard, I started thinking whether Harvard is good or not. If I got accepted, do you think I should go based on your experience (social ->friends, professors, education, grades, etc.)
