...rank in the top ten despite the schools’ academic prowess. According to the Journal, “academic quality isn’t the primary concern of most survey respondents.” “While recognizing the brainpower of their students and faculty, recruiters complain that they often find graduates of some of the most prestigious institutions more arrogant and less collegial than the MBAs they meet at other schools,” the article stated. But many HBS students said they were shocked by the Journal’s assertion that they do not work...
...just about anything around here if it’s red brick.” To many, the elegant lines of the Holyoke Center or the giant concrete triangle of Gund Hall just don’t make sense within the iconography of Harvard.

...classes tends to be composed primarily of white males. History 10a is the paradigm for many students’ larger intellectual gripes about Harvard: the class covers too much, too hastily and too broadly. The lecturing is split up between three professors who vary in quality, and students complain that by the end of the semester, 10a is a better venue to grab a power-nap (undisturbed) than to peruse Western history. The sourcebook was too often lauded as something more “exciting” than the lectures. Coming after 10a, History 10b is more like a dessert...
