Harvard was a very meaningful experience and assisted me to become the CEO of my own company. Harvard planted the seeds to success, and I cannot thank them enough.

Best University in the world. I came from a poor background with little or no hopes, and I am close to graduation. I hope every country realizes that education will be the gap of status quo and learn to be nice and please do whats safe for you instead of working for self interest hat is what Harvard teaches good ethics and moral responsibility.

During my time here, I faced instances of sexual assault that seriously impacted my well-being, and I reached out to the university for help. Despite reporting these incidents and seeking assistance from various resources, I felt let down by the response.

I can’t come back to this school. Prof Ben Dover shoved me in a locker and called a gang of monkeys to come rape me. After that they dragged me across the floor and did fortnite dances on top of me and prof ben Dover took a shat in my mouth. I cried to myself to death that night and God told me that I had to write this or I’m going to hell#KMS
