<p>^ actually, Harvard’s advising has amazed us - son seems to constantly be meeting with some advisor or other. We have felt there has been ample hand-holding. Almost too much sometimes. And the shopping period drives him to distraction - he always sets out with a short list but each day keeps adding to it and then ends up having a very hard time making the final choices and taking more classes than is prudent. We dread shopping period! Wish he just registered a month or so prior and that was that.</p>
