First, Harvard is very famous, even the first school in the United States (of course, some people say it is Cambridge, England). Harvard is famous anyway.
Second, it is good to go to Harvard, which is particularly generous in providing scholarships for undergraduates. Middle-income families can participate almost free of charge, not to mention low-income families.
Third, going to Harvard is tantamount to joining a huge network of relationships. Harvard has great influence in American politics, business and academia, and Harvard alumni support each other.
As for Harvard's teaching, like ordinary American universities, there are lecturers, seminars and experiments. When you listen to the Nobel Prize winner give you a lesson, you feel different. The lecture will be supplemented by small discussion groups, with graduate students as the discussion leaders to cultivate students' research and analysis ability.
Harvard students sleep about five hours a day on average, not all because of academic pressure, but often because of too many club activities. Harvard cares about various problems in the United States and the world and provides various solutions to these problems. Of course, some people think that Harvard people are too arrogant and self-righteous. I usually burn the midnight oil before the exam, but the pressure of Harvard freshmen and sophomores is much less than that of MIT in the same town, and it is easier to get an A at Harvard. However, the third and fourth grades of Harvard are under great pressure and have very high requirements for papers.
According to my observation, about 5% of Harvard students are geniuses that you can't catch up with. Most of them are smart and hard-working, but about 65,438+00% are poor.
There are many famous schools in America, so don't just stare at Harvard.
