Harvard University

Harvard University is a name that represents prestige, honor, tradition, and academic excellence. The professors are incredibly challenging all while the students enjoy the tremendous challenge of their courses. A degree from Harvard sets you apart from other college graduates. Harvard's two schools: Harvard College of Medicine and the Harvard Law School are almost cliche in their competitiveness and overly demanding course agenda.
Harvard University is a member of the Ivy League. Harvard is so elite that Amy Poehler and other celebrities frequently make speeches to the student body. Their graduating class is incredibly equipped with the tools needed for success. Their alumni offer nation wide support. Few citizens have the financial means, the knowledge, or the blood-line to make it into Harvard, which is why Harvard is known for their letters of rejection.
Harvard in its early years kept women segregated however the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study which had once been all females, became a part of the larger Harvard college. Harvard even has recently had a women president.
Harvard graduates have high expectations to live up to because many will just say that all college knowledge is the same. However, given their academic excellence and facbook origins, it is doubtful that a Harvard graduate will find himself in a difficult time no matter what his degree or focus of study.
