Harvard University Reviews
Rating 4.15 out of 5 848 reviews
Attending Harvard College was transformative. The housing system fostered a strong sense of community, facilitating academic support and social interaction. The rigorous academics, led by renowned faculty, challenged me to think critically and pursue my interests. Harvard's commitment to diversity enriched my experience, and the vibrant location in Cambridge provided endless opportunities for exploration and growth. Harvard College offered an unparalleled experience that has left an indelible mark on my life.
Harvard College is a big enough school where you will always meet new people, but simultaneously small enough that you will begin to recognize the faces. I was pleasantly surprised at the number of people who were so willing to step up and help, and did not have any "ego". There are plenty of motivated and passionate people, and enough student groups that everyone can find a place they feel welcome in the college.
Great experience at Harvard so far! The people you meet are truly the best part, students and professors.
