Admitted! It feels unreal.

@ mrwnt10 I know what you mean, and I have stumbled across these negative comments as well, which also made me doubt my decision. However, a kid I know that goes to Harvard has told me something that I found really true. And that is that everyone has a different experience at Harvard, as does everybody else at every college. Professors will be there to help you if you look for them, and since Harvard has the choice, I think, to go shopping for courses, you might as well chose the professors who you think will be most dedicated to you.

The type of classmates will vary, as it does in any other college. I am guessing that you definitely WILL have the typical preppy guy, as well as very simple people. Harvard is diverse in tis student body, and everyone will be different around you. It is just a matter of getting to know the people. I mean, I also was concerned about that, I wanted a laid back school with people who were not that competitive between themselves, or that cutthroat environment. I have heard these comments, but I also have heard the opposite, so in the end is what you make of it.

Small classes I think depend on the course you are taking. But anyways, goos luck in your decision!!! And remember, every place has its pros and cons, its just about finding the fit for you :)

btw, I have also heard that princeton is really competitive, but who knows? In the end, we cannot generalize. Not everyone will be the same.
