I’d like to know where that assessment comes from. My daughter is a sophomore physics concentrator at Harvard and she has found it to be entirely welcoming and supportive. Is the work difficult? - without a doubt. Does engineering lose a lot of concentrators? - yes, but that is true at most/all universities. Decades ago when I was at Georgia Tech students that struggled with engineering either switched to management or transferred to another college. There weren’t as many interesting alternatives as there are at Harvard.</p>
