Undergraduate freshmen are required to live in dormitories on campus. The houses are different and the conditions are different, but most of them are very old, and some even have no air conditioning, so Boston is very cool most of the time. In the dormitory, each student has his own room (very small, only one bed and a small table can be put), sharing the living room and toilet with four or five other students, or having a big room for two people.

Most students get up late, usually after eight o'clock, and some get up after nine o'clock. The first thing is to take a bath. Most people don't have time to eat breakfast, take a loaf of bread to class or eat nothing. Some dorms are far away, and Harvard will provide shuttle buses.

There are often classes at noon, so some people have lunch at 12, while others have lunch after 2 pm. Most restaurants are spectacular and antique, but the quality of the food is not flattering. Most restaurants are in the form of buffet, and you can eat as much as you want. Just pizza, hamburgers, boiled chicken, grilled fish and so on. Occasionally there will be fake China rice, which tastes very bad. Fried rice or Zhajiang Noodles.

There will be many activities in the afternoon and evening, including many public lectures, discussions, debates, singing and exhibitions. Many students will go to work in the afternoon, or in the school laboratory, library, or go to an outside company (senior). There is a lot of homework every day, especially reading. Each class will require you to read 800 pages of materials every week, which is slow. Students who master school tricks should do it in the early hours of the morning.

Although they are nervous about their studies, many students still take part in some cultural and sports activities and communicate with friends on the computer. There is a computer game competition in the dormitory. Most students go to bed at about two o'clock.
