At Harvard we were gentlemen

Men were gentlemen

Why Harvard? Why not Oxford or Cambridge?

[Louisistan]

Because Tanzoria is Americanised.

[Valentian Elysium]

Why is Tanzoria americanised, that's not very nice of you mate

Because Harvard has air-conditioning whereas Oxford doesn’t have proper air conditioning in its dormitories even during the middle of an intense summer heatstroke.

because dorms are empty in the summer

Not if you’re there for a summer program.

[Louisistan]

To be fair, a penguin would consider anything above freezing an intense summer heatstroke.

[Liberdon]

Do you think +90°F is just a “little” above freezing?

[Louisistan]

It's hot.

[Liberdon]

Yes, it is.

[Louisistan]

Comfortably hot if I'm located at a pool with a book in my hand and a cool drink.

Oxford doesn’t have a pool. Although, I did go down to a large lake in a field once. It was the middle of the day, but it seemed to be a gathering spot for the partiers of Oxford. One hilariously drunk English guy approached my group at one point. His sober friend ended up pulling him away and apologizing to us. I think she could tell that her friend wasn’t exactly making a good impression on the foreigners. We didn’t mind though. We were just happy she came to get her friend. There were also horses. A lot of horses. Oh, and horse dung. Overall, a very interesting experience 😂.

I can see how horse dung would be uncomfortable in those temperatures.
