I know this sounds stupid but what are the two best clubs? Isn't this imply exclusivity by the way?

LOL! Anyway piccolojunior, this forum is created for a reason. So, it not wise for you to play around with facts like that. It will not bring you good in the long run. Trust me. There are other places for you to play around but just not this place. e.g. Even if you wanna kill someone, that doesn't mean you can or you should. You just have to change your mind and/or do other activities (legal, please. We live in a world with rules, remember?) that can make you not kill other people. Although I suggest to change your mind and if that's not enough, do activities. If that's still not good enough, please find a therapist.

Although I agree with some of your general sentiments Visionary, I would maybe suggest that you compare post/thread counts with someone else before lecturing them on the purpose and etiquette of a given forum...

Ehem...I respect that he is a senior member. Don't get me wrong. But in this instance, are you saying that you can play with facts? No disrespect again here.

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)?

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

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.

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.

You can make your education as hard or easy as you want...depends on your aspirations.

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.

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?

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?

Please comment.

@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?
