Student review [#36661] for Civil Engineering
at Harvard University

Where is it at Harvard – So let’s start by saying, forget everything you saw on ‘The Social Network’. Although Harvard’s stereotypical ostentatious “preparations” exist, they are a small minority that stands in stark contrast to Harvard University’s vibrant and diverse community. Harvard offers thousands of excellent student opportunities, with famous professors (I recently held a seminar with the former president of the American Society of Microbiology), great travel opportunities, hundreds (seems like thousands) of organizations, and tons and tons of student resources. It might be overwhelming at first, but Harvard offers a solid network of advice and support for every student, helping them navigate the often chaotic first few weeks.
