The verification is the Harvard sweatshirt you wear to the interview.

Now I want to do a thing where during interviews I wear merch from a different university than the one on my CV, especially from locations it would be extremely improbable for me to go to university and during interviews aggressively hint I went to said university instead of the one I actually said I went to, without outright saying anything false.

Back when I was in college, the only time you’d wear your own school’s logo was when attending a sporting event. Otherwise, folks always wore some other school’s colors — I think the implication was that they had a significant other attending another university. An unspoken “Yea, I have a boy/girlfriend, but you’ve never met them; they go to a different school.”

Ah neat. American college culture is so fascinating to me.

Here in the UK we have absolutely nothing even remotely like this.

University is just a building you go to and attend lectures at, there's no real "campus" at most unis, the entrance is usually same as an office building - street level somewhere central-ish (at least in London), and the only people who hang out at the uni cafes and whatnot are overly posh knobs and grifters who have nothing better to do while most others are off working or getting high at home.

There's no "dorms", there's usually "student halls" but they're not related to the university, and they're not anywhere near it, and "the halls" (like a boarding house) are shared between students of different unis, but are also seen as a ghetto and those who can afford it just rent their own place or house share instead.

I have no idea if my university had any non-staff merch and if it did whether or not anyone wore it or knew about it, nevermind sporting events.

I guess another implication could be, "yeah I go here but I was also accepted by there. Sweatshirt came in the packet."
