I know some of us are still stuck on Fifty Shades of Grey ;) but That Book About Harvard seems to be the next "big" book. 2008 Harvard grad and CollegeHumor contributor, Eric Kester takes the readers through his humorous transition from high school to college at the most prestigious university in the world. It looks hilarious, or at least the prologue is.

Have you read it? Or are you planning to?

No...its really not debatable. Ask any kid for the top 3 schools and the response is "Harvard, Princeton, Yale"
It just rolls right off the tounge

MIT is better than all 3 of those.

It is debatable. US News debates about it every year when they do rankings. Guess who is number one this year. Princeton and Harvard. But of course that doesn't include specifics, like fields of study. How is Harvard for engineering?

And of course, there are a lot of international universities. Ever hear of Oxford? Or Cambridge? How does Harvard compare to them? Not very well.

I see what you're saying. Oxford and Cambridge are well up there with the Ivies - and if we want to throw in MIT - MIT and Stanford. But now let's not forget the little Ivies and the public Ivies...
