Why is Harvard categorically better than Yale?
‘I heard Yale cites Wikipedia’
November in Cambridge. Leaves fall to the ground, students cry over midterms, and Yale is the butt of every joke. That’s right.
This weekend is The Game. Harvard students had some interesting answers as to why the Crimson will always defeat the Bulldogs.

“Harvard is better than Yale because we have an outstanding mariachi band, and Yale does not have a mariachi band at all.”

“Because the other one waitlisted me. But we’re cool now.”

“Cambridge > New Haven.”

“Location is the biggest part of it. Yale is situated in such a shady neighborhood, while Harvard is nestled in Cambridge, a bustling urban center.
“Plus, our campus is much more ‘Instagrammable’ – our dining hall is literally a remake of Hogwarts’ Great Hall.”

“Crimson just looks good on everyone whereas blue is basic.”

“It’s a little sad that Yale’s most popular course is an imported Harvard course.”

“I love Harvard because of the vibrant and diverse community, not sure if I would experience this anywhere else.”

“Harvard is better than Yale because Harvard has twice the As. Also because Harvard is cool enough to have a concept as its mascot. That goes probably beyond the understanding of the Yalies.”

“Students who come here actually watch their football team win at The Game.”

“Harvard is better than Yale because crimson is the color of courage and victory, while blue is the color of wishy-washy-ness and disappointment.”

“They literally couldn’t even think of an original motto and just added one more word to it.”
