Harvard University

Barely Exists

There are 3 sororities and 3 fraternities on campus. None of them have residential houses and one fraternity is the only Greek organization with property in the square. Many of the frats and sororities rent spaces in the square for meetings that barely hold all of the members. They are a good outlet for making new friends and for parties and mixers, however final clubs dominate the social scene more than frats/sororities.

Not Much Said About Drugs

The College has a lot of oft-talked about policies on alcohol but drug policies are pretty much unmentioned. For example, I don't know what disciplinary consequences would result if an administrator found a student selling drugs or storing drugs in their room, and I'm a senior here. The rare wealthy student will experiment with cocaine, a normal amount of students smoke weed, and a number of students abuse study drugs like Adderrall, especially during finals.

Its Harvard

World Class professors, classmates, resources, and facilities. However, it is easy to get through Harvard taking easy classes and not challenging yourself. It is very easy to get a B+ and difficult to get an A or a C.

Harvard College is a liberal arts undergraduate program, meaning there is no business, marketing, communications, accounting, finance major or concentration. There are a diversity of programs and the option for independent or special concentrations if a subject area isn't available. (One noticeably absent undergraduate concentration is Urban Planning or Architecture and this is usually a "special concentration" based on Graduate School of Design classes). The graduate schools are a great resource for undergrads, and you can take classes at many of them as an upperclassman.
