Maybe my bias is because I'm from the South, where "party school" and "good football program" go hand in hand..

Re: How many Harvards?
FWIW, I went to Harvard. I think many liberal arts schools offer the same quality of undergraduate education as Harvard. The difference is in the fact that Harvard has a much greater international reputation, thanks in large part to the fact that their graduate institutions are much larger than Yale or Princeton (for example), and made up by a greater percentage of foreign students.

Michigan Stadium or rather Michigan fans are widely considered very quiet and arrogant.

Agree or disagree? [/ QUOTE ] I have most frequently heard the term "Harvard of the South" in reference to Rice. Probably Emory is second. I don't hear it much in reference to Duke, probably partially b/c Duke isn't far enough South and partially b/c Duke has enough of an independent reputation that it doesn't need to place itself in the shadow of another school. It wasn't used in reference to Vanderbilt much when I was in college, but seems to be more so now.

Re: How many Harvards?

[ QUOTE ] I always thought Emory was the Harvard of the South [/ QUOTE ] I've always heard this as well. [/ QUOTE ] I mostly heard professors jokingly state this when I was there, usually chiding students for complaining about their workload. (which really wasn't too bad) Usually it was met with at least one comment of "nah, thats Duke." But unlike Emory, Duke probably has enough of its own identity not to have to borrow one. Numerous times I've heard people talk about a school being invited/going to be invited to join the Ivy leage. I feel like its a pretty good indicator that the person is both ignorant and/or has a doucebag inferiority complex.
