37. People do move around, and Harvard at least TRIES to show it gets students from everywhere.

Yes, Harvard is rarely the first choice of most Southern Rural residents, but in at least in theory, some such people would be going to Harvard. A few years ago, I was walking by a person in Pittsburgh and because I walked to fast past him, he went into a position to punch me. I just kept on walking for he looked like he just left a mental hospital (i.e. his clothes were cheap, but clean but he had that look that everyone was out to get him).

Yes, you would more likely find someone who would go on the attack in Florida as opposed to Cambridge Massachusetts, but that is NOT the same as to say such an attack is NOT possible in Cambridge Massachusetts.
