ok so many of these questions depend on whether you are a rising senior or rising junior. rising juniors have much less freedoms than seniors, such as curfew at 11.


If you are a senior, you have all the freedom you want. You can go anywhere at any time. The curfew at weekends was supossed to be at 2 am, but trust me no one follows and proctors dont really care that much.
Im not sure, although there are parking spaces around harvard. parking is kinda hard to find though.
weather is nice overall. Its REALLY hot, so better take lots of shorts and loose shirts. its also really sunny, although you should take umbrellas because it tends to rain once in a while.
yes, SSP students can use all Harvard faciliteis that you need.
Food tends to get borring and nasty after 2 months, but I guess htis happens everywhere. I didnt go to the sumemr to eat “good Harvard food”, so whatever. and yes, there are options for vegetariianss.
not sure on this one, although there are many clubs you can join.
girls and boys can sleep on the same floor. rooms, obiously, are single sex. and yes, many people sneak out, although some were sometiems found out and got curfew.
I think that depends on the people you meet, your roomates, and the poeople you hang out with. FOr me, personally, there were no “cliques”, but people did get into groups, but we all hanged otu and it was really friendly. The people I met were awesome, but that just my experience.
It depends on the clases you take, your schedule. Normally, classes tend to be monday through Friday, although that relaly depends on the classes you choose.


If you know how to have fun (although without drinking) and happen to meet awesome peopel by chance, you will have the best experience of your life.
