Why don't Harvard grads like telling people that they went to Harvard?

By William Smith （MBA，Harvard）

I have an even worse situation: my undergraduate degree is from Brown, I have graduate degrees from the University of Cambridge and Princeton, as well as an MBA from Harvard.

Many people, like me, who have one or more degrees from distinguished universities, do not as a matter of course say where they went to school because it can sound like boasting. The only reason I have an HBS credential is because it’s relevant when I answer questions about the business school.

Most people with degrees from distinguished universities are modest about their accomplishments.

Edit: I want to thank all of those who find this post interesting and germane. I am humbled by how many have found it so.

Secondary edit: Another reason, now, is the way in which the university shows no moral compass about Hamas, and is the worst university for free speech.

Tertiary edit: Another reason: The English Department is offering a course on—-Taylor Swift.

Quarternary edit: The governing board of the university stood by a president who is without any moral sense and is a plagiarist. Fortunately, she resigned. What happens next?

铁匠的4个编辑注释很有意思，他似乎在说

Harvard, I shame on you!

是不是有另一个原因： 如果在一起的人都不是top5毕业的，说自己是哈佛毕业的，会产生不自然。其他人感觉我们和你不是一个level的。说话就没那么自然轻松了。

有一次老牛出去玩。同飞机的另两位一位是哈佛的，一位是买买提的。土鳖烂校老牛当时就Holy母牛。
