As a current Harvard student, I can attest to the fact that we do love to complain. In my view the complaints about a lack of social space are what the British call whinging. This is a university, not a country club. Budgets are being cut this year and this is affecting resources, courses, graduate stipends and even student numbers. IMHO there are plenty of places to meet and socialize and creating more of them should be far down the university’s list of priorities.
