<p>My daughter will graduate in December of 2014. How is this compared to a regular May graduation? Obviously,a smaller crowd, and I hate the weather in May. Has anybody gone through this?</p>

<p>My daughter will be doing the same! I’m actually looking forward to the smaller, intimate ceremony. See: <a href=“Midyear graduates recognized – Harvard Gazette”>http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2012/12/midyear-graduates-recognized/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Thanks so much! My daughter certainly has taken the road less traveled.</p>

<p>So what do the females wear in Dec? Not white dresses?</p>

<p>So the Winter Graduation is very low key. No awarding of anything, no caps and gowns. I liked the intimacy however of about 200 people, family and friends. Some speakers and a nice reception. There was also a lunch at each house for the mid year graduates with the Head Master of each house. A nice relaxed event, and now we wait to see the diploma after exams!</p>

<p>^^ I agree it was nice. FWIW: I posted this on another thread</p>

<p>My daughter is very glad (and not the least sad) to leave her Harvard days behind her.</p>

<p>Compared his experience at Harvard to Dante’s Inferno’s experience at Harvard? His experience reading the Inferno? </p>

<p>Whose experience in the Inferno? Did he say? I imagine that Judas Iscariot and Lucifer are worse off than, say, Virgil. </p>

So my Harvard grad auditioned for a vocal program in Sweden for a year. She speaks fluent Swedish and auditioned with a song from OKLAHOMA in English. To earn some money she is taking a job at 10 dollars an hour on a farm for 8 months. I bet she could win a prize for most oddball choices after graduating!
