I am considering applying to Harvard as a transfer student next year and I was wondering how current students and alumni have felt about their time there. I have a few questions regarding your personal opinions of Harvard. Feel free to answer any or all of the questions, or come up with some other insight regarding Harvard. Thanks!

How good are the classes? How difficult are they? How good are the professors? Would it be terribly difficult to maintain a GPA above a 3.8 in a Biology major?

How is the social life? Is there a big party scene? How do most students spend their time outside the classroom when not studying? How is the area around Harvard? I’ve never been to Cambridge, but I hope to visit some time this summer.

Finally, would you recommend going to Harvard? Why or why not? Feel free to list any pros and cons that might stand out.

You might see this same thread in other forums. This is because I am considering a good number of schools.

Thanks for your time.
