College Prowler Take

Challenging, rigorous, and positive all describe students’ overall experience at Harvard. The academic challenge initially seems daunting to many students, but the intellectual growth facilitated by this academic powerhouse leaves students pleasantly surprised. The social life of most Harvard students acts as a counterbalance to the intellectual challenge, and not surprisingly, students forge lifetime memories and friends throughout their four years at Harvard.

The Harvard experience leaves most students yearning for more. The University provides undergraduates with a rich history, unparalleled cultural diversity, and intellectual rigor that challenge each student to fulfill every ounce of their potential. Students leave the College satisfied, prepared, and as a stronger, more aware global citizen than when they entered.

I can’t imagine being anywhere else. I love my classes, my dorm, and my friends. The resources available to me as an earth and planetary science concentrator are unbelievable, and I have no doubt that I would not be able to do the research I am doing at many other schools. Sure, sometimes the stereotype of Harvard kids being stuffy and nerdy is true, but for the most part, it is a very fun and admirably impressive group of people.

Yes, I hate the weather, and I think the students can be a bit pretentious and too career-oriented, but overall, it is simply amazing. Professors and courses are thought-provoking and creative. Even though I might not have individual conversations with most of my professors, they are generally the experts in their field and simply listening to them is quite engaging. While binge drinking can be fun, Harvard’s student theater productions, speaker events on campus, and Boston’s various other attractions offer opportunities to enjoy yourself, no matter what your idea of fun is.

I love it. The things I thought I would look for in a school (lots of school spirit, good professor to student ratio, prestige) ended up not mattering at all. What is important is the location and the people. Harvard has the best of both.

Hmm . . . life is difficult. It’s a great place; the opportunities are overwhelming, and so is the coursework. But it pays off.

In one word: unimaginable. In every sense, Harvard has fulfilled my highest expectations. The academics, people, resources, and opportunities are unbeatable. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. But a word of warning, and this kind of depends on your concentration . . . you do have to do a good amount of work if you want to do well. You can’t really fail out, but you have to work hard to do well and get anywhere above a B- or B average.
