Pros: as long as you can pay, you are accepted. Cons: the dorm rooms are not airconditioned.
I am a teacher in the Cambridge Public School system. Last May, an interesting email popped up in the "news" mail folder, asking for teachers to apply for a fellowship to study at Harvard Summer School. I downloaded that application within seconds of...
Pros: The eternal cachet of the name Cons: It just may not be the best "fit", and you will pay dearly to put that name on the resume
Harvard. The name itself has a mystique, perhaps unlike any other university in the world. Certainly boasting of a degree from that elite institution is one of the more notable criteria one can carry when it comes time to get a job. It can also evoke...
Pros: reputation, research & heritage Cons: arrogant & idolized
Facts And Fiction Where does legend start and fact end at fabled Harvard University? This is the University that wants to be seen as the first and best in every academic area. But is it? Or is Harvard borrowing heavily off of its past ...
the.MYTH
There's nothing students like more than to complain incessantly about college food. It's like being at a party and complaining about the watery beer - a guaranteed conversation-starting technique that even the socially reticent can...
Pros: Excellent academics, brilliant student body and faculty Cons: social atmosphere, administrative support of students
While the tirades against snotty Harvardians, over-hyped academics, or silly ratings systems may be amusing, they seldom have actual information to lend to people reading these reviews. In this epinion, I will try to distill what I think to be wrong...
Pros: great for highly independent souls Cons: tough for those seeking a little guidance
I stepped out of the car into Harvard Square, and I don't know how else to describe this--I felt electrified. There was something emanating from the brick sidewalks, perhaps, or from the strangely welcoming wrought-iron gates surrounding Harvard Yard....
Pros: Diverse student body, rich resources and course offerings Cons: not the best fit for extremists on either end
Upon beginning Harvard Divinity School after college 5 years ago, I was a bit apprehensive about attending a school full of "religious" people. Would I encounter a bunch of religious nuts? Pontificating preachers hell-bent (no pun intended) on...
Pros: Fair process, thorough admissions personnel and application readers, financial need-blind Cons: It's VERY hard to get in
You're a high school senior right now, or maybe a parent of one, and you're desperate to get into a good college like Harvard. It's an arduous process, I know. You're probably well-versed on all the standard advice: get good grades, score well on...
In a word, Harvard University Health Services are abominable. The staff is horribly disorganized, it is next to impossible to get an appointment when you need one, and the majority of the doctors are inept. I would not normally be so unequivocal...
Pros: Unparalleled Academic Resources, Endless Extracurricular Activities, Wonderful Tradition and History, Great Location Cons: None
My college experience at Harvard was as incredible as I thought it was going to be; in fact, it exceeded my expectations beyond anything I might have imagined, and, given the opportunity, I would do it all over again. There are few places like it in the...
Pros: Almost everything Cons: Expensive school to go to
Well my review on Harvard will be different than most considering I haven't attended this school. I have, however, taken classes at the Harvard Extension School. My review is a personal one.
Pros: Closest to Yard, more personality than any other House Cons: At times a bit too 'quirky'.
Although it used to be people got to choose their Houses (House is Harvard's term for an upperclass dorm), these days people are randomly sorted into Houses. So while the Houses had developed a good bit of personality when their residents were...
Pros: Great athletes and competition Cons: Little support from administration or students
I am not a Harvard Athlete (not enough to count at least) but it's pretty easy to realize that athletics are not officially a very important part of the university. It's not that athletes or coaches don't care, it's that most students and the...
Pros: brilliant students and faculty, lots of opportunity Cons: $$$$$, unapproachable faculty
Harvard's School of Public Health draws students and faculty from all over the world. They are the best and brightest. By the time they get to Harvard, they have been doing the most amazing things in their already-flourishing careers. I could not...
Pros: Beautiful Rooms, Historic Buildings, everything is walking distance, student community is close-knit Cons: The Quad -- separates some friends because it is a 10 to 15 minute walk from the other group of upperclass houses
Housing at Harvard compared to other colleges and universities I have seen is amazing. While it is certainly not all large single bed-rooms with views of the river, Harvard is lucky to have buildings with character to offer all undergraduates. ...
