Harvard University Top Questions

After freshman year, Harvard students are sorted into 12 upperclassmen houses. There is a strong since of house identity here, as expressed in intramurals and formals. Boston is a relatively small city that is packed with things to do - the MFA and New England Aquarium are great attractions, as well as Fenway and the Prudential Center. There is no Greek system, but there are finals clubs. While they get a bad rap for being selective and discriminatory, they are anything but. The people there are very friendly and fun to hang out with on a Friday/Saturday night. Unfortunately, all clubs in Boston are 21+.

Social life can be good here but needs improving. At least its a good thing that the presence of frats is negligible.

Most popular clubs? I don't really know. I guess a lot of people work at the Crimson newspaper, but it's not, like, SUPER-popular. No frats. There ARE finals clubs, but those are kind of stupid. Since it's a city campus, there're restaurants open even late, which is fantastic. In general, living so close to Boston is really, really great.

I am a member of the Harvard Democratic Club.

Wide Range, one of the reasons why I chose to come here. great traditions, altho most have been tamed.

There is nothing very interesting to me, and I am too busy to get involved.

The are clubs/organizations of anything you can and cannot possibly think of. If you can think of anything, it probably exists at Harvard. Social life is good during freshman year and they go to parties a lot, but later on people get settled down a bit and are much more busy so they will party much less.

I met my closest friends through my freshman dorm. They are now my roommates.

finals clubs are not so cool

MUNs are just great and the people very open.
