Student review [#57899] for Economics and Public Policies
at Harvard University

I thoroughly enjoyed the academic life and the learning environment at Harvard University. In terms of academics, students have the opportunity to attend lectures given by top professionals in their fields. Their ideas and insights are thought-provoking and innovative. Courses are well-organized and structured, and the level of instruction from most professors is impeccable. Regarding the learning environment, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the myriad of interesting seminars, events, talks, and people you can encounter. Learning outside of the classroom is fundamental to the overall experience. There are plenty of resources available to ensure students feel supported and can make the most of their studies. On the downside, I expected better support in terms of career services. This varies by school, but in some cases, their career advancement offices are understaffed, which impacts the assistance they can provide.
