Bush says that he does not remember exactly when Roberts made his choice. “He talked about possibly pursuing a law career from freshman year, and somewhere it just seemed to have shifted from ‘possibly’ to ‘probably,?...
According to Bush, in the end Roberts turned down a scholarship to Harvard’s Ph.D. program in favor of enrolling at the Harvard Law School (HLS), which he chose over Stanford because, as Bush recalls, his Stanford interviewer wore sandals and no tie.
But despite his strong academic drive, Roberts did have a fun and lighthearted side. “There are some people who are only focused on their studies,” Hirsch says, “and that was not him.”
Hirsch says Roberts was “sociable and friendly,” and a great person to converse with. Bush remembers that although they studied diligently and never partied, they always joked around in their room.
In particular, Bush spoke fondly of “fraise-bagel,” a game that Roberts developed that involved keeping a Nerf football from hitting the ground.
