Campus Visit Notes for Harvard University


Visit Description:

Out of the six visits we did this was probably the worst of the bunch.

Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:

Stay as close as possible to the college since getting around wasn't that easy. Construction made matters worse. Parking not cheap.

Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:

Nothing stood out
