Going to Harvard was the worst decision I ever made. I was admitted into a doctoral program at the University of Virginia, yet I stupidly chose a Masters program at Harvard instead. It was a disaster. There was collective bullying amongst the faculty against people whose opinions they did not value. People could skate by and choose easy classes while the rest of us who chose the most challenging classes were studying 14 hours a day. There was no incentive to work hard and excel at all. In fact, ambition and questioning was openly discouraged. The worst part of my experience was not being able to get any recommendations following my degree. This made it impossible for me to get my doctorate elsewhere. I blew it going to Harvard. Also, for every menial job I work in, people hold it against me that I went to Harvard. "Oh, you went to Harvard? Well, I will show you!" is what I generally get. Unless you are rich and walking into a prestigious job after Harvard, Harvard harms your chances of employment. It intimidates employers and co-workers. The inability to get recommendations ruins your credibility for future study. It is a life destroying experience.
