Hi everyone! I’m currently making that infamous Harvard vs. Yale decision, and though almost every part of me screams Harvard, I hesitate mainly because various people comment that the social scenes at the two schools are “drastically different.”

But never having attended either college, I don’t actually know what that means. So if any current/former students would be willing to tell me about their own Harvard social experience, or if really anyone else has any insight, I would be so appreciative.

I definitely want to know if it’s possible to be normal without heavy-partying every weekend, if students are kind to one another in general, and whether students are able to find a balance between pursuing their own ambitions and making friends/having fun. But please feel free to disregard theese questions and just share any anecdotes you may have :)

Thank you SO much in advance!
