Social Life?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University
1

<p>I was hoping that some current or past Harvard students could talk about their social experience at Harvard. For example:</p>

<p>1) How did you spend your weekends?<br>
2) How often did you go to parties? Were these usually at final clubs? If not, who hosted?
3) How prevalent did you find drinking to be among the underage students?
4) How much time did you spend off-campus? Were you pleased by what Cambridge and Boston had to offer socially?
5) Did you spend any time in bars or clubs?
6) FOR ATHLETES: Did you find your social life dominated by time spent with fellow members of your team?</p>

<p>Answers to any of these, or other thoughts about social life (or a lack thereof) at Harvard would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>** 1) How did you spend your weekends? **</p>

<p>Saturday: Late brunch, meet up and run by the Charles with a few friends, Harvard Square/
North end visit, check in on my lab, an hour party hopping, check out publications online,
read my favorite magazines at the library, go to sleep</p>

<p>Sunday: Late brunch with my ECs group, run by the Charles (6 miles), Check in on my lab, contemplate philosophy and our existence :slight_smile:
Psets the rest of the day through 2 am with music from my favorite radio stations</p>

<p>** 2) How often did you go to parties? Were these usually at final clubs? If not, who hosted? **</p>

<p>Once a week; No, finals clubs are for rabbits, silly; usually there are parties hosted by
various EC based groups to which all are invited; I choose which ones on Friday</p>

<p>** 3) How prevalent did you find drinking to be among the underage students? **</p>

<p>Those who drink can do so uninhibited. Those who do not, have no pressure to indulge.
There are more who do not drink than those who do.</p>

<p>** 4) How much time did you spend off-campus? Were you pleased by what Cambridge and Boston had to offer socially?**</p>

<p>A few hours a week at most when I am in the mood for exploring. Cambridge is lovely.
North End Boston is fabulous. The rest of it I still need to explore.</p>

<p>** 5) Did you spend any time in bars or clubs? **</p>

<p>Yes initially in the first month. The novelty wore off and I stopped.</p>

<p>** 6) FOR ATHLETES: Did you find your social life dominated by time spent with fellow members of your team? **</p>

<p>Varies by sport. Three of my good friends are recruited athletes. All of them spend
time at their practice but choose to spend time with other friends as they see
fit.</p>
