“I love Harvard’s intellectual buzz, how easy it is to learn from Nobel‑laureate‑level professors and join research or global‑network opportunities, but from a past‑student view I’ll say the intense pressure, the way the Yard‑bubble can feel isolating, and the constant competition for grades and internships were all heavier than the campus‑tour version ever let on.”
