One of the oldest universities in the United States - based in Cambridge/Boston, MA. Harvard is famous for having taught many prominent Americans, and is often considered to be the best, or one of the best, universities in the country.
Often criticized for its elitism, extreme focus on career vs. personal life, old-fashioned/strict approach to education, and creation of large, obnoxious egos. A great school with flaws.

1) An elitist university where one would go to waste "$150,000 on an education you coulda got for a buck fifty in late fees at the public library."
2) The home of athletes who make their opposition feel better about themselves and look especially talented by comparison.

"I just wasted 150,000 dollars last weekend in Vegas!"
"That sucks, but I went to Harvard and it took me four years."

Harvard just played hockey against Cornell.

American university that breeds insecurity, especially with regards to its younger cousin (see: Yale).
Guy 1: Dude, all Sam can talk about since he started at Harvard was how much "Yale sucks".
Guy 2: Yeah, thats because they replaced the freshman writing course with "Yale Sucks 101".

The school you would have gone to in a second had you been accepted. Frequently ranked best college in the world. Also, unfairly criticized by many for rejecting them. See envy. Apparently, the (insert your mediocre school) of the east.
I wish I had been accepted to Harvard, but instead, I'll take my anger out at them for my shortcomings.
