why Harvard? This is why!

<p>So I need a therapist because CC (not this site) and SA (not the city) are the best clubs at harvard, which is obviously IMO (not the olympiad)?</p>

<p>What are CC and SA refer to?</p>

<p>CC is the group "Criminally Crimson", a collective of student convicts. I think they sell puppies and hold charity bakesales.</p>

<p>Not so sure about SA, though I think it's the Student Allegory, whose members spend the time making grandiose interpretations of the stuff around them as insights to the meaning of life.</p>

<p>Wrong on both accounts :D</p>

<p>@doctordestiny: Hahaha! You are so funny! LOL!</p>

<p>am i to understand that Harvard's education isn't that great and it would be wiser to go to MIT for a great education plus all the other factors i.e diversity, research etc. I'm just saying if i choose Harvard i would be deeply annoyed if the education itself isn't all that great and you must rely on your peers to help you rather than the teacher.</p>

<p>You can make your education as hard or easy as you want...depends on your aspirations.</p>

<p>I know that, but will the teachers push you past your limits, will they stay relatively organized so as to not waste your time and most importantly will they teach the material.</p>

<p>And, can you tell me how is the discussion among students at Harvard looks like when in class? Are you allowed to interrupt the profs when they are teaching? Moreover, do you continue on your discussion out of class?</p>

<p>Other than that, what do you mean by section leaders? What is Harvard's way of disseminating knowledge among its students? Aren't virtually 100% of Harvard profs teach ugrad? So, what are these section leaders doing there?</p>

<p>Please comment.</p>

<p>@Anyone from school using Harkness table and then entered Harvard: Can you please tell me the differences and similarities of the way you are learning using Harkness table and learning at Harvard? I know this sounds stupid (to compare high school to univ) but I wanna know the learning experience difference between them. How deeply did you learn using Harkness table?</p>

<p>"I know that, but will the teachers push you past your limits, will they stay relatively organized so as to not waste your time"
Can you please rephrase this in a better/detailed way? Thanks!</p>

<p>By the way:</p>

<p>"am i to understand that Harvard's education isn't that great..."
I don't know about this and I (like any other student) want to know in details about this.</p>

<p>"...it would be wiser to go to MIT for a great education plus all the other factors i.e diversity, research etc."
I don't know about that too and I also want to find out about the quality of undergraduate education there [MIT]. Anyone?</p>

<p>"If you want to play a sport here, you can do it as a D1 NCAA athlete."
Don't you think that this is a little misleading? If I am not mistaken, only recruited athletes can do that. Please correct me if it is not as such.</p>

<p>"There's another who at 16 solved a graph theory conjecture that mathematicians had never before been able to prove."
Source, please! And, which conjecture did you mean? Please state.</p>

<p>Is the statement here in reference to Michael Viscardi? </p>

<p>He is a rare example of a Harvard undergraduate student who skipped Math 55 and went immediately to taking graduate-level (in Harvard's terms) courses in math upon entering Harvard College, when he was still under the age of eighteen.</p>

<p>Wow, five posts in a row. Can't you combine your thoughts into one or two?</p>

<p>LOL! Will be doing so...</p>

<p>Not true. Many sports at Harvard and and many other Division 1 schools too have a significant number of walk-on athletes competing for the school.</p>

<p>I have a term paper due that I'm working on, so I'll get to the other points later and in more detail, but:</p>

<p>no it's not misleading to say that about athletes. We have 41 varsity sports. If you do the math it would be ridiculous to have that many recruits at the school (and against regulations). Unless your talking about football or basketball, walking on and getting significant PT is very possible.</p>

<p>no I'm not saying Harvard's undergrad education isn't as good as MITs. I'm just saying that the volume of work you do here is less. As I'm sure your aware, there's a very large difference between volume of work and true education.</p>

<p>The rest will be addressed later</p>
