Ridiculous

Boston is a college town. There are actually over 100 colleges and universities in the greater Boston area. As a result, students at each school have a healthy sense of pride for their respective colleges. However, I was curious to discover how students felt about people who went to different schools, and even their opinions on the schools themselves. Their responses were so painfully honest that most of the participants asked to only be identified by first name. Enjoy their witty, mean, and honest answers.
