Mobe613: I was about to be cynical, but instead I decided to make a serious point.
Harvard/Michigan/Chicago and other far flung schools are like GPSs and/or the internet, and/or Facebook. If you use them to get what you want within the context of a frum lifestyle, they are an incredible tool. If you want to escape the frum lifestyle, they are great ways to do that. I know people who went to law school to run away. Those people are not frum. I also know people who went to law school without any intention to run away. Those people are frum.
