Hey all,

I was just wondering if someone could describe to me what the student culture at Harvard is like. Obviously everyone works hard and studies, but I was wondering more about the social/fun aspect. What kinds of things do people generally do for fun? What kinds of things did you do for fun? Is there a particular example which you feel would accurately characterize the Harvard student culture, or part of it? Do people like pulling intellectual pranks? Do they play frisbee, hopscotch, scrabble, or chess? Do they do math for fun? Do they write essays for fun? Do people party a lot? Is it a collaborative environment?

By no means feel obligated to answer all the above questions; I just asked them to help those who wouldn’t know where to start find a place to begin.
