Harvard is committeed to supporting its students in their academic career, which is why they have many services ranging from financial aid to providing health support. In addition to student services centers for undergraduate students, each graduate program has their own office for student services to better cater to the needs of those students.

Ranked #2 in the 2019 edition of Best Colleges is National Universities, #6 in the world according to the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.

Another student wrote on niche.com The academics aren't really more difficult than your average college, but I think the high ability level of the students makes the grading harsher than your average college. I think a B at Harvard would be an A at the average college in America.

Some of the professors are very rude and arrogant toward undergrads. I experienced that firsthand on at least four occasions (four different professors).

The place can feel overwhelming and lonely at times, and there's no hand-holding. Also, when it comes to finding a job at graduation, you're on your own. Nobody's going to knock on your door with a job offer. Career Services exists, of course, but they aren't going to knock on your door either, and they're primarily only useful if you want to work on Wall Street. If you want any help at Harvard (job-seeking help, mental health help...any help), you have to seek it out."

From gradreports.com, a class of 2016 student wrote "It's a really good school with too much to offer. Therefore people who get the most out of the school are those who have a set of skills they are seeking to get. I noticed that although work experience is not a requirement for admission, previous work experience is very helpful. There are also several versions of the degree so take your time to find one that is tailored to your need. Reach out! Reach out! Reach out!. The students are exceptionally helpful and the staff so ask questions via email .
