Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Harvard’s classrooms are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and the Harvard library system is among the largest in the world. The Malkin Athletic Center was recently renovated, adding more cardio equipment and more space for exercise classes. Students wisely recognize these resources, and praise the University for spending its enormous endowment on the constant improvement of these existing facilities.

Harvard does lose points due to its lack of a true student center and the absence of any concrete plans to resolve the student center issue. Regardless of these complaints, Harvard receives high marks for providing top-notch facilities to aid undergraduates in pursuit of improving the life of the mind, as well as the body.
