This is Part II of Flyby’s two-part From Cali to Cambridge mini-series. Check out Part I!

“Yeah, this is the coldest weather I have ever been in in my life,” a dormmate from Sri Lanka said to me as we walked back from dinner. It was September 15.

I wondered who was experiencing greater culture shock: me, a born and bred Northern Californian, or him. Because let me tell you, sometimes I have felt like I’m in a foreign country.', [])

After Ted Cruz, the Republican Senator from Texas, completed his more than 21-hour speech slamming the Obama administration\'s healthcare policies, an online petition was started urging Harvard to rescind the Senator\'s degree. Cruz, who graduated from Harvard Law School in 1995, recently made headlines when news broke that he preferred to study only with graduates from Harvard, Princeton and Yale while he worked towards his J.D.', [])

As any seasoned Law School student knows, the key to surviving the Socratic method and the mountains of reading assigned weekly is a study group in which you can bounce ideas off of some of your peers who were also brilliant enough to get into Harvard Law.

But when Senator\xa0Ted Cruz—a 1995 Harvard Law School graduate and\xa0Republican from Texas—was a student at HLS, his own study groups had an admissions standard almost as inflated as his own ego. According to one of his colleagues, the now-infamous senator refused to study with any student who did not attend college at Harvard, Princeton, or Yale. "He said he didn\'t want anybody from \'minor Ivies\' like Penn or Brown," Damon Watson, one of Cruz\'s roommates at the time, recently told GQ.', [])

But when leaving Lamont in the wee hours of the morning, there is nothing worse then finding yourself caught in a long line through security on the way out.
