YES, YES, YES. You will learn tons and only from the best and the brightest. The professors are amazing and the TFs, likewise. The courses are generally designed to push you towards the limit of learning. IMO, the clubs and the student community alone make Harvard a great place to pickup knowledge, skills, and new friends.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I absolutely enjoy being there. Wonderful students, wonderful staff. People actually care about you at Harvard.
People always ask me, Do they party at Harvard? Yes! Maybe not as crazy as some schools, but we definitely have some great parties. The Cambridge/Boston location is very exciting. The only con I've noticed is a lack of school spirit sometimes.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
By and far, Harvard has the best financial aid of any college in the world. Income < $60k, you're in for free. FREE. You can't beat free. Even upper income family receive a lot of aid here.
In many cases, they'll even send you refund checks when you have a positive balance from extra outside scholarship money.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Visit the campus, talk to a few current students or grads and you'll be able to get all the info you need. Try do something unique and creative during your high school years. Take risks, go on adventures. These kinds of things look great on apps and they make for great essays.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Great for students that tend to get along with everyone. Great for self-motivated and passionate students. Harvard is bit more laid back than what most people imagine, so both don't worry if you're not a type A person. You're still welcome here.
