What school would you go to

Let’s say you had your choice at any school on the face of the earth. You have a 10 digit trust fund set to kick in and never have to work a day in your life. Where would you go for a balance of fun and prestige (even though you wouldn’t need it for any employment)?

Imperial College London - top academic reputation, amazing city to live in, international students

Stanford - California weather, good athletic programs, lots of major companies nearby, impressive connections to VC

 

duke or UNC. good sports, parties, academics and very attractive girls. if you’re a football fm I’d say Clemson. seriously, those southeastern college girls are on a whole other level.

 

Harvard for sure. It’s the single most prestigious university in the world, insane alumni connections, you’d be surrounded by peers like yourself, and easy grading.

I can’t stress the name brand enough. There are kids in the poorest parts of Africa who don’t have water, but know what Harvard is. Stanford doesn’t have that just yet.
