[quote=Anonymous]I also have a freshman and he’s not missing much class (that said, he will likely be a humanities concentrator so he’s not mingling with the finance bros.) He did miss one lecture because Mike Pence was coming to speak and he was invited to meet with him. He then had lunch with the professor of the class that he skipped.

He “works” from 8am until midnight… and that includes academics and social commitments, some of which are potential career advancers but others are religious, cultural and just for fun.

When I was a freshman in college I was going to class, rushing a sorority and still had a ton of downtime. DS is booked up non-stop. At some point he’s going to crash (currently studying for midterms and I can tell he’s a bit on edge) but he’s absolutely loving it so far. He doesn’t have imposter syndrome… he’s there to learn from others and for the community, which he says is incredible.

I do think that kids who aren’t as social will struggle to get the best out of Harvard. Everything is at your fingertips but you have to be bold enough to reach for it. [/quote]
