...could be a famous Harvard dropout. But first you need to leave. It's not hard. Simply show up at the office of your senior tutor or freshman dean, fill out some withdrawal petitions, a cancellation of housing form and some other random sheets of paper that will allow Harvard to keep tabs on you while they can't track your every move via ID card.
