[LA=스포츠서울 문상열전문기자] In Korea, when a graduate from Seoul National University enters the entertainment industry, it has a premium. Apart from your skills, you will have the advantage of a top-notch university. As a modifier, Seoul National University graduates always follow.
Harvard University in the Eastern U.S. Ivy League is the symbol of the world’s most prestigious universities. There are numerous excellent universities in the United States, but Harvard is always ahead. It is the first university in the United States. Since it opened in 1636, it has a long history. It produced 161 Nobel Prize winners, 8 Presidents of the United States of America, 48 Pulleycher Awards, 10 Academy Award winners, and 188 surviving billionaires. In all areas, Harvard’s dominance stands out. There are many celebrities who have succeeded innumerably. Harvard, the oldest university, has a progressive academic tradition.
At Harvard, sports are premium. Only a handful of players have entered the four major U.S. sports, baseball (MLB), basketball (NBA), football (NFL), and ice hockey (NHL). It was Harvard who always followed when Taiwanese-American Jeremy Lin made a blast in the NBA. In fact, it is very difficult to study and exercise well at the same time. Studying is done with the head, but exercise must be supported by constant effort in the natural body. When a Harvard graduate works as a pro, it’s a big news. It is similar to a celebrity from Seoul National University.
The Ivy League, including Harvard, does not provide scholarships to athletes. Stanford, a prestigious western, has a scholarship. That’s why Stanford stands out in sports. Harvard has 42 male and female varsities under the NCAA. It is a big difference from Seoul National University, where only one baseball team, which is like a hobbyist team, is operated.
