Harvard Horseshit

Official corporate spin that tries to take a really bad situation and make it sound positive.
Harvard, after losing about 30% of their endowment value:

"In navigating the past year's storm, we developed greater financial flexibility, strengthened our investment team, sharpened our focus and positioned both HMC and the endowment to be robust, steady and, importantly, poised to benefit from growth in the world's economies,"

Jim: that is a pile of harvard horseshit.

Harvard Of The South

Vanderbilt University, possibly the greatest place on Earth. Amazingly hot pussy and definatly the place to go if you want to be drunk for four years and still do something with your life after you graduate.

The Claremont Colleges

Seven prestigious colleges located in Claremont, California. Consists of 5 undergraduate and 2 graduate schools. The institutions are highly selective and are consistently ranked among the nation's best colleges in US News and World Report as well as in many other college guides.

Located in the city of Claremont, which is known as The City of Trees and PhDs. The Claremont Colleges are often referred to as Harvard of the West Coast primarily because the city is dominated by people with advanced degrees, doctorates etc. It is a place with a lot of old money, inherited wealth, and blue blood.

The undergraduate colleges include Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, Harvey Mudd, Pomona College and Scripps.

The two graduate colleges include Claremont Graduate University and Keck Graduate Institute.

The Claremont College campuses are adjoining and within walking distance of one another. Put together, the campuses cover roughly one square mile.
The purpose of the consortium is to provide the specialization, flexibility and personal attention commonly found in a small college, with the resources of a large university. Their compartmentalized collegiate university design was inspired by the University of Oxford.
I'm smarter than you. I go to Harvard of the west coast. Aka the Claremont Colleges.

Harvard of the West

The University of Michigan Ann Arbor became a favored choice for bright Jewish students from New York in the 1920s and 1930s when the Ivy League schools had quotas restricting the number of Jews to be admitted. As a result, U-M gained the nickname "Harvard of the West," which became commonly parodied in reverse after John F. Kennedy referred to himself as "a graduate of the Michigan of the East, Harvard University" in his speech proposing the formation of the Peace Corps while on the front steps of the Michigan Union.
Since Michigan is known as the "Harvard of the West", you can buy a t-shirt in the Michigan bookstore that has "Harvard" in big letters, the Harvard school seal, and then underneath the words "The Michigan of the East".
