My much-anticipated, whirlwind trip to Boston for Harvard Undergraduate Women in Business’s Intercollegiate Business Convention (HUWIB – IBC) took place this past weekend. Organized by the lovely ladies at Cornell’s branch of 85Broads, the twelve of us made our way from Ithaca to Boston in three cars after 6 hours on the road, during which Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the USA” came on way too many times (yet we still belted it out every time).
By the time we got to our hotel it was already nightfall. We drove to Cambridge and was shown around Harvard Square and Harvard Yard by our unofficial host. Sorry Ithaca, but Cambridge is what a legit college town should look like – festive shops, classy restaurants, preppy boys dressed in swoon-worthy black topcoats and Burberry scarves traveling in groups, actual civilization etc. Ithaca just has hippies. Everything’s definitely a lot closer on what we saw of the Harvard campus, which has its advantages. I do love Cornell’s gorgeous hilly landscape though.
