Not sure what bubble that would be. I didn’t attend Harvard and don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who has. I also don’t live in the United States.

You’re on HN. Go to yemen and ask your question.


According to Wikipedia, there are more than 20 universities in Yemen. I’m pretty sure they’ve heard of Harvard.

Which is different to being in the most recognisable brands in the world, with coke, disney, manchester united, etc etc.
