<p>Hey everyone! I heard from a few of my friends whom i met during visitas that they didn't enjoy the weekend (Yardfest and other stuff). i admit I was intimidated at first but I loved my visitas experience overall. I am curious about other pre-frosh's opinions. How did you like it? Did you like Yardfest?</p>
<p>I’m not a prefrosh, but if I can chime in, I’ll say that I thought Yardfest sucked. I think it would have been better if it hadn’t overlapped with Visitas.</p>
<p>I personally had a blast at visitas. I know there has been plenty of complaining about alcohol and partying etc, but it didn’t bother me. I didn’t personally drink, but it showed me that, if I wanted, that social scene was available. It probably helped that I am rather outgoing and was able to meet numerous people while I was there. My host was there when I needed him, but didnt sit there and hold my hand all weekend. Ik that some people had a problem getting into dorms, but I was always able to find an undergrad who was able to let me into the building and I talked with my host so I always had a way into the room when I needed too. Then on monday I was able to attend numerous panels and classes as well as get all of my questions answered. I was even able to make time to meet my admissions officer. I thought it was a good weekend.</p>
<p>Is Visitas going to overlap with Yardfest again this year?</p>
<p>Just checked the calendars of Mather ([Mather</a> Calendar](<a href=“http://www.mather.harvard.edu/mather-calendar/]Mather”>http://www.mather.harvard.edu/mather-calendar/)) and Cabot ([Events</a> | Cabot House - House Life](<a href=“http://cabot.harvard.edu/houselife/events-main/]Events”>http://cabot.harvard.edu/houselife/events-main/)). Visitas is on the Mather calendar for April 21st (no mention of Yardfest) and Yardfest is on the Cabot Calendar for April 22nd (no mention of Visitas). So, yes there might be some overlap, but it seems not as much as last year.</p>
<p>thank you!</p>
