Students talk about this school
Good reviews
Overall 4.7
The administrators, staff, and the faculty in general deeply care about the student body. They offer a variety of courses, and are making visible efforts to include postcolonial perspectives. The resources at Harvard are great. It draws many students (not all, though) who are very progressive and even antagonistic to traditional religion.
Overall 4.7
It provides a welcoming environment for a myriad of faith traditions. The course offerings are broad, and one can take courses all around Harvard, including some undergraduate courses.
The cafeteria is meh. Better food is available further south in the main campus area.
Swartz Hall is a beautiful facility, a mix of old-world and modern.
Overall 4.7

I despise this school the people there just paid and they were all having difficulties with the lessons that were being taught.
