Is the stereotype of students at Harvard University accurate?

Bevan

yes for 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the students here

Only the first two.

In response to... - Grade inflation: We compensate for it with harder classes. - Bad parties: If you're a guy, pay 10k a year and join a finals club. If you're a girl, start coming onto those rich boys. - Stuck-up kids: Fine, don't go to a finals club. - Too much sex: Ever heard of True Love Revolution? You'll fit right in! - Too little sex: Ever heard that the condom boxes are restocked weekly? And that you can buy the birth control pill at a blowout discount from the Harvard pharmacy?

A minority of students do possess these attributes.

Aaron

No, students actually balance their social and academic lives well.

Lindsey

I don't feel that this accurately described the majority of the student body. However, I do think these traits are seen more frequently at Harvard than at a lot of other non-ivy league Universities.

The faculty is incredible - my impression from 90{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of my professors is that they have really been open to talking in office hours and getting to know me. But most don't put a lot of effort into teaching their undergrad classes. James Kloppenberg is a notable exception. Harvard students do work very hard, but it's more that doing extracurriculars (and occasional schoolwork) is what they enjoy rather that they don't have fun. They just don't have fun by partying (mostly).

Sometimes. I get quite a bit of sleep from time to time.
