While Harvard is NOT your regular party school, it definitely holds true to its heritage and name. Ive been here a year and I feel as though Harvard is my home. Being part of a college that has so much history makes you feel like you're living out a book or a work of fiction.

The people here are definitely on their own tangents, most people party at 2- 3 places, there isnt much to do in the Cambridge area. Boston, however, has an awesome night life, and its just 10 mins away by the Subway.

The teachers are brilliant, but they are caught up with a lot of their own work at the same time. Student tutors are available, though. The library has every book ever written.

Harvard is BEAUTIFUL. It will take your breath away every time you wake up in the morning. But watch out for those Hobos in the square, they stink.

Course work is hard, I've done more reading in a restricted amount of time than anyone Ive ever known. But I definitely feel as though im learning a lot more than I wouldve if i wasnt pushed as hard.

Harvard is a tough school, but its the best - and it churns out Graduates who are independent, proud and on top of their game.
