[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, for me at least, getting to know faculty at Harvard was less about self-confidence than about where I ate and studied. My House -- aka residential college -- happened to be near the departmental offices for my major. And I think Harvard offered free food to faculty who affiliated with a House. So profs would come over for lunch regularly and then look for a familiar or friendly faces near an open seat. I also ran into faculty in the library fairly frequently and some would stop to chat. Basically, shared interests, the geography of the campus, and some deliberate social engineering worked to bring people together across status lines. I didn't have to make an effort to get to know profs -- it just sort of happened.[/quote]
