<p>Here’s stuff about me:</p>
<p>I want to work really hard and I like studying a lot
<p>I also got into Yale, if that helps you give advice to me</p>
<p>Harvard could be a could fit for you.</p>
<br>
<p>People at Harvard do work hard. Some study more than others, but whatever balance allows you to be successful in your coursework will be perfectly fine.</p>
<p>Students at Harvard generally don’t compete with one another - instead they compete with themselves. Everyone is generally just trying to achieve their own personal best, rather than trying to outdo anyone else. People in classes together tend to be collaborative: people make study guides, share notes, and put together study groups. The only place you’ll really find competition is within some student groups - those that hold elections - since an election is by definition competitive. But if a cut-throat atmosphere is what you’re seeking, Harvard won’t provide that. </p>
<p>If you don’t like dancing there are plenty of parties and gatherings you can go to where people will just stand around and chat, drink, play beer pong, and so on. Some parties will be a combination of both dancing and standing around. But not dancing won’t at all keep you from meeting new people.</p>
<p>Boston is a few subway stops away from Cambridge. There you’ll find Boston Commons (similar to Central Park in NYC), the Public Garden, and probably plenty of other parks too. There’s also a thriving theater district. Cambridge itself also has Cambridge Commons (a large park) and the American Repertory Theater (which is part of Harvard).</p>
<p>Harvard has a whole lot of different sports available and many different theater groups on campus, but neither of those things dominates the school culture in any way. If you want to spend four years never seeing a play or going to a sporting event, you’ll be perfectly able to do so (though I must say I’m not sure why you’d want to). The only time sports plays a big role in the lives of all undergraduates is the weekend of the Harvard-Yale football game, and even then some people skip the actual game and go only to the tailgate and parties. As for libraries, Harvard has Widener, one of the biggest and most beautiful libraries in the country. </p>
<p>There are plenty of intellectually stimulating classes available. (I can’t really be more specific than that since you weren’t.) </p>
<br>
<p>Over all it looks to me like Harvard could provide what you’re looking for. Good luck with your decision!</p>
<p>your post was very informative and thorough. thanks!</p>
