<p>In terms of focus, I do believe that without the undergraduates, the college fails to stand on its feet, and it these 6600+ students, each with something different to offer, that shape the identity of what Harvard is. Pinpointing your particular question, I have never found this college to be grad focused. Admittedly, I am in a smaller concentration, and as such, reap the benefits of an only child, but the major theme across the board is the college doesn’t just give you an education, you need to show that you want it and take the initiative towards it. Anyone I have interacted with that had this initiative, definitely found Harvard’s education to be worthwhile, imo.</p>
<p>In terms of layout, Harvard was founded as the college well before the rest of the university came into play. Thus, our equivalent to Old Campus, Old Harvard Yard, where the first buildings were built, is very much the focus with the houses next door and then the graduate schools slightly further out (map.harvard.edu) in all directions from Old Yard - very similar to Yale’s geography ([Campus</a> map - Yale University](<a href=“http://business.yale.edu/map/]Campus”>http://business.yale.edu/map/))</p>
