Harvard University offers its students the most amazing experience. From the rich history to the distinguished faculty to the vibrant atmosphere of Harvard Square, it is truly unique and inspiring. While at Harvard, I was able to dance to Gangnam Style with Psy, read a Gutenberg Bible, study and work with my hero, perform fMRIs, and have brunch in the Great Hall at Hogwarts. I can’t tell you what opportunities you have here and what you will learn working and studying with people around the world. Harvard is also trying to further promote diversity by offering a need-blind application process and a financial aid program that ensures you won’t have to be denied admission due to financial hardship! Harvard truly cares about its students, giving them every opportunity possible and providing them with an experience they will never forget.

Academics are absolutely fantastic. They vary, of course, depending on the student’s choice. Many students just take boring, huge introductory lessons and then complain about how they’ve never met their professors. However, there are literally thousands of off the beaten track options for small seminars in countless areas. I tried to follow as many of them as possible and my average class size was around five. Eating out with professors is not uncommon, and the vast majority of professors spend a lot of time getting to know students. Each professor has extended office hours, so a complaint that professors are unreachable usually rests with the student. After my class for two last year, which often took hours, we would sometimes go for a drink. Students and professors appear to be part of the same community, not separate entities. I highly recommend that you have at least two small, obscure classes in your schedule each semester. Overall, Harvard scholars live up to their name

I gained great knowledge from the people around me since I’m continuously surrounded by people who are extremely knowledgeable in a certain profession and keen to put their knowledge to use and learn more. Some instructors are fantastic educators who genuinely care about their pupils. Some academics, on the other hand, are just not cut out to be instructors; they are great in their disciplines, but poor educators.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the highlights of my undergraduate career so far after the freshman semester at Harvard were the people I had the opportunity to meet. From meeting my roommates on the first day to discussing the First Amendment rights with my classmates, I enjoyed every moment of my time with them and made friends that will last a lifetime. They are motivated, diverse, and pleasant, and they are always eager to be supportive and provide a helping hand.

It has effective support structures and it is very diverse. Students are open to collaboration and team work at all times. It’s located in town which makes it easy to access stores and sometimes go out for weekend excursions.
