What IS GREAT about Harvard

One of the things I have been especially impressed with is the helpfulness of professors. One example, D went to office hours but the TA wasn’t around. In leaving, saw the Professor of the very large course, stopped him to ask if he knew when TA would return. Prof asked if he could help with the questions, ending up spending almost an hour – on the spot, right then – reviewing the proofs/questions. There have been other similar instances. We would not have predicted the openess of professors given the reputation the school has for “ignoring undergrads”; which in our opinion is unfounded.
