Store locations edit

Latest comment: 9 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

As of 2014, the Coop has its main buildings in Harvard Square, two locations at MIT, and small convenience stores at the Harvard Law and the Harvard Business campuses. It really no longer "serves" the Harvard Medical campus, having closed its former Med School store. If one argues that the Med School area is still served by the Harvard Square stores, one ought to add the Radcliffe campus, which is within a much shorter walking distance of Harvard Square. For consistency, one should also claim that the Wheelock College campus and MCPHS University campus are "served" by the Harvard Square store. I think that listing the Harvard Med campus just gives vestigial homage to the former store, and is misleading to new readers who don't know or care about this historical trivia which isn't even explained. There is no reason to favor the Harvard Med School over the other member institutions that also must rely on the Harvard Square and other satellite locations.
