social life at harvard

<p>harvard is arguably one of the greatest academic institutions in the world, but does it provide a positive expereince overall?
i found this article on the crimson:
<a href="http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=350153%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=350153&lt;/a>
can any current Harvard students give a differing view of the social life, or is it as the article describes?</p>

<p>Before starting this thread, did you bother to do a search of this forum on this issue?</p>

<p>I can only assume that you didn't, as this is an issue that has been discussed at length (ad nauseum?) over and over (and over) again.</p>
