Studying at Harvard

Harvard Students - What Are They Like?
Some students are confirmed scholars, who focus on the library, the lab, or the seminar discussion. Some are community volunteers who spend time and energy on significant political or social work. Some are journalists who organise their lives around newspaper deadlines. There are artists, athletes, actors, musicians, and enthusiasts of many other kinds. Students enter with a wide variety of ultimate goals - many with no clearly defined goals at all. The thing that tends to define a Harvard student is a visible momentum, and a passion for a pursuit or interest that makes them come alive when they talk.

Several recent students have recorded their impressions of Harvard for us on clips, which you can see by going to the Students Speak page or by clicking here.
