Six Harvard students with foam fingers cheering for Harvard-Yale football game

The admissions process is over, and if you got accepted, congratulations!

If you weren’t accepted, even Harvard makes mistakes. But to those who’re starting to look at where to go to college, here’s why Harvard’s a great choice .

Choosing between colleges can be tougher than Liam Neeson in Taken. Like choosing between candy bars, each college can seem like the same but each seems pretty cool. I can’t pretend like I had a tough college decision making process. I never thought I’d get into Harvard, but when I did (re: “even Harvard makes mistakes”), it was a no-brainer, like Patrick Star.

But, if I had to make a decision between colleges, I would choose Harvard for these reasons:

Ability to do Whatever

The “ability to do whatever” doesn’t mean that you can like rob a bank. That’s highly illegal. But what that does mean is that because Harvard offers such a breadth of academic and extracurricular opportunities, you will be able to immerse yourself in whatever interests you. Also, if you were like me and are super undecided about what you want to do and study, Harvard’s pretty good at a lot of stuff, so you’re pretty much guaranteed to be taught by the best people in whatever you end up choosing to study. Even if you wanted to study something really obscure like medieval Icelandic witchcraft, there’s probably a professor who’s super interested in that (in this case, his name is Professor Mitchell). Harvard is a liberal arts college , so you won’t need to decide what you want to study for a little bit, and you’ll be exposed to a bunch of different fields of study. Choosing a concentration is tough, but there are so many good choices that you can't go wrong.

With extracurricular activities , Harvard has a ridiculous amount of clubs and organizations. Many of these are really involved in their field, like the Crimson with journalism, the Institute of Politics with government, and the Lampoon with comedy, for example. Many of these are pretty much just for fun, like the Arnold Schwarzenegger Appreciation Club. Or you can make your own club, and Harvard will give you money to do that. 

So, at Harvard, you can forge whatever path you want for yourself.

  • Financial Aid

Harvard offers a very generous financial program , and the financial aid officers here will make sure that finances will not be the reason you would not choose Harvard College. A Harvard education can cost less than a piece of Bazooka bubble gum. Harvard, for most families, is cheaper than attending their state’s college or university. That’s huge. One, because that means that Harvard’s actually doable; two, because that means you can graduate debt-free; and also three, because that means that the student body can be diverse and filled with the best people possible.

So, Harvard’s not filled with a bunch of people named John Washington Harvard Rockefeller IV, contrary to popular belief, and a lot of that is due to the financial aid program .  

widener library

Harvard has a ridiculous amount of resources. To start with, the Harvard library system is the largest private library system in the world with 17 million volumes and 55 miles of shelving. But while you can’t possibly read all 17 million volumes in Harvard’s collection, you know that you’ll never need to go anywhere else to get the resources you need to be successful. 

Beyond libraries, Harvard has a bunch of money to give out to help you do research or study abroad or both. About 70% of Harvard students will end up having some sort of substantial international experience, whether that’s studying abroad or doing an internship in a different country. One of my friends right now is abroad in the Caribbean studying the history of rum on Harvard’s dime. To me, that just sounds like a free vacation. And there’s also the Office of Career Services which you can go to if you need a job term-time or over the summer. 

When you come onto campus, it can feel intimidating. It’s like going to Times Square for the first time. The history and tradition of this place can be overwhelming. But, eventually, this becomes your home Harvard’s the oldest college in America, founded in 1636. That’s, believe it or not, older than your grandpa, and if it’s not, your grandpa could be a wizard. Harvard has been around the block, and that comes with it a lot of cool traditions, a lot of history, and a crazy extensive alumni network. From Harvard-Yale to Housing Day, Harvard’s traditions are sometimes bizarre Once you graduate from here, your Harvard experience doesn’t end. Alums always want to help you out. When you come here, you become part of the Harvard family with cool people like Bill Gates and Elle Woods.

Harvard has the best of all worlds in my opinion of being in a city, being in a college town, and being its own college. Harvard is right outside of Boston, yet it has its own full out campus. And campus is pretty sweet. Boston and Cambridge are both really young places (the average age in Boston drops 10 years every move-in day in the fall), and there’s a ton of stuff to do for college students. Boston has character. Yet, there’s also always something happening on campus. You never feel the need to leave into Boston, but there’s always that option. The T is super easy. We’re on the Red Line, and in 15 minutes, you can be on Boston Common. 

In regards to weather, most of the time you’re here, it’s awesome fall weather or it’s really hit-or-miss spring weather. In January and February, though, it does snow. I personally love snow, but if you don’t like it, just think of it as angels’ dandruff. If that’s also unappealing, realize that you’re only really here for a couple of months where it could snow. And if it snows, all you have to do is put your boots on and walk. You don’t have to shovel it or drive in it or anything.  

Harvard building Eliot House

Housing here is pretty sweet. 98% of students live on campus all four years, which is different than most schools. Everyone’s always around on campus, which makes it that there’s always something to do. Freshman year, you live on Harvard Yard, and then at the end of your freshman year, you and up to 7 of your friends get placed into one of 12 upperclassmen houses. Each of the houses has their own little quirks and their own dining halls, gyms, libraries, practice rooms, and all that jazz. Your house is the community you get attached to, and even though it’s completely arbitrary as to what house you get placed in, everyone always develops a bunch of house pride. So, we’re completely spoiled with the housing here, but hey, I’ll take it. 

This is super corny. But before, I thought that Harvard students were a bunch of nerds, and they are! I spent 30 minutes yesterday in a Wikihole reading about different castles. But at the same time, while Harvard students are similar in that they’re generally pretty driven, they’re incredibly diverse . So many people are doing so many different things, which is pretty cool, so you end up learning a ton from each other. I probably learn more from just sitting in the dining hall talking to people than I do in my classes. That’s not to say I don’t learn anything in my classes, but it just means the people here are pretty cool. And also, the people here are also like normal college students. We’re not robots but I guess I can’t be certain. 

People are down to earth and like to have fun, and I’ve met some of my best friends here that I’ll have for the rest of my life. 

In sum, I’m graduating in three more days, and I couldn’t be more upset to leave. I love this place, and I think it’s a place you could fall in love with too!

New study highlights critical gaps in the united states’ special education system.

harvard university special education

A new Harvard Educational Review article, “Racial Differences in Special Education Identification and Placement,” examines how the United States’ special education system is failing to serve communities of color equitably from start to finish, from identification to classroom placement. The article, authored by Todd Grindal, Laura Schifter, Gabriel Schwartz, and Thomas Hehir, analyzes the anonymous data of approximately 4.5 million public school students living in three states around the country.…

Special Students

Share this page.

Individuals with academic or professional reasons for pursuing graduate-level study without entering a degree program may apply for special student status and, with approval of the instructor, engage in coursework or a combination of coursework and research for academic credit during the fall or spring term or for one year. Summer coursework is not offered; those interested in summer study may consider Harvard Summer School as an option. Special students may only affiliate with one department or program, based on their proposed plan of study. 

While they are not candidates for any degree, special students are admitted to the Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (Harvard Griffin GSAS) and are eligible to enroll in graduate or undergraduate courses, depending on their academic record. They have access to most student privileges and may request an official Harvard transcript of courses and grades received. They may also, with instructor consent, enroll in courses at other Harvard Schools via the cross-registration process.

Special students may submit a new application to extend their program. Extension is not automatic.  Reapplications are considered on a case-by-case basis.

Harvard Extension School ALB and ALM Candidates

Harvard Extension School students working toward an ALB or ALM degree who wish to take courses not offered at Harvard Extension School or Harvard Summer School may apply as a Harvard Griffin GSAS special student and may enroll in up to two courses per term for one academic year.

To qualify, candidates must earn a minimum number of Harvard Extension School credits with a specific GPA and obtain recommendations from their program director and two Harvard Extension School instructors. For more information, review the special student status information on the Extension School’s Earn Credits from Other Harvard Schools page.

Admissions Requirements

To qualify for the program, you must hold a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent and must present evidence of fitness for admission at the graduate level. Current undergraduates who would like to study at Harvard should contact the Visiting Undergraduate Student Program.

Full tuition is charged and cannot be waived or reduced. Special students are not eligible for institutional financial aid. Visiting students are typically either self-funded, by home country or home university scholarships, by third-party scholarships, or a mix.

For information about tuition and fees, see the Cost of Attendance section.

Before applying, you must select one department to affiliate with based on their academic interests.

Restrictions

  • Admission cannot be deferred.
  • Special students are restricted from participating in a select group of departmental offerings.
  • Individuals denied admission to a degree program at Harvard Griffin GSAS cannot apply as a special student for the same academic year.
  • Special students may not transfer to a degree-seeking program but may apply to Harvard Griffin GSAS in the future. If admitted, they may petition to apply their academic and financial credit toward their degree requirements.
  • Special students may not cross-register for more than 50 percent of their classes outside the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and may not work on an independent research project if it exceeds half of the courses they are enrolled in.
  • The visiting students program does not offer premedical coursework or advising.
  • Special students cannot benefit from Harvard-administered financial aid programs and do not qualify for Federal Student Aid.

APPLICATION DEADLINE

Questions about the program.

Special Students & Visiting Fellows

Special students.

Students who wish to take graduate level courses in a non-degree capacity are invited to apply to Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS) for Special Student status. Special Students  are not degree candidates. Credit for a limited number of acceptable half-courses may be transferred into a degree program if the student is later admitted to graduate study, pending approval.

Special Student status ordinarily is limited to a maximum of two terms, with extension possible only by reapplication.

Visiting Fellows

Scholars intending to do research who hold a doctorate, or have equivalent professional experience, or are  advanced doctoral candidates who have completed all required coursework , may apply for  Visiting Fellow  status within Harvard Griffin  Graduate School of Arts and Sciences  ( GSAS).

Visiting Fellows are normally admitted under the auspices of an academic department within Harvard Griffin GSAS.

Visiting Fellows are registered as full-time research students in the Harvard Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and have access to most university facilities. They are also eligible to apply for membership in the Harvard Faculty Club.

Those wishing to apply for non-degree status as a Special Student or Visiting Fellows status should click  here  for information and how to apply. 

Restricted Courses

Some courses are not available to Special Students, including research courses.  These include all 300-level courses in the School of Engineering, as well as 299r courses. Courses may require instructor approval before you can register. A complete list of restricted courses can be found  here .

harvard university special education

We are travelling to Vladivostok in Feb., with a kid, we are a bit paranoid! As I find it is pretty hard to exchange RUB in my country!

We will arrive at midnight. That’s another fact we were worried if we do not have RUB in hands, we can’t even take a taxi!

Do you guys think it’s easy to get RUB from the ATM machine in the Airport? Is the service charge high or not?

Any SIM card recommended?

Do you think we could find taxi from the airport at midnight? Is the fare standard or we need to bargain?

Someone suggest me to use Maxim app for taxi, anyone try this before?

Atms in Russia are reliable and do not charge anything on top of your bank's charges. Just get your roubles. Also, besides Maxim, there are bigger taxi apps to use, Uandex.taxi is the biggest, Uber and Gett as well. They propose fixed price before you book, and you can link your card to pay. Any sim card from MTS, Beepine or Megafon are equally fine.

harvard university special education

Vasily is on the money on both, book you Taxi ahead of time and not worry about negotiations at the Airport. ATM's in Russia are everywhere.

As for a SIM, it is about $US8 a month, and we got ours from MTC (suggested by Vasily) and they include UNLIMITED DATA !! We got SIM's for our 2 teenage daughters as we are here for a Month and they were over the moon.

Now, buying your SIM, you will need your Passport, and it's not a Tourist thing, even Russians need their passports to buy SIMs. Well keeping your Passport handy at all times is recommended as you will need it for some attractions, it's sort of the default form of identification carried in Russia.

Tripadvisor staff removed this post because it did not meet Tripadvisor's forum guideline limiting each user to a single forums screen name.

Can I use credit card to Maxim or can I call the taxi in the airport with my SIM card? Any free WiFi at the airport? Thanks!

Most probably there is a taxi desk at tje airport, accepting cards and providing a fixed rate ride on a waiting taxi. Would be a little more expensive than using an app, but fast and convenient. There will be wifi. I expect airport's website to be informative...

there is a taxi desk, so no worries

>Do you guys think it’s easy to get RUB from the ATM machine in the Airport? Is the service charge high or not?

No hassle at all. There are tons of ATMs, and they don't charge anything above your bank fee.

>Any SIM card recommended?

They are all pretty much the same, though I use MTS for a 12 years now, and don't see any reason to switch. All Big Three ops are equally sh1tty (from a Japanese POV), awesome (from a US POV) or mediocre (from a Russian POV).

>Do you think we could find taxi from the airport at midnight?

No probs at all. Use an app-based cab or ask at the official taxi desk near the exits. The latter is a bit more expensive, but as safe and reliable as the app service, because it's actually the same, just set up by the AP that takes some markup for themselves.

>Is the fare standard or we need to bargain?

Only bargainable if you make a mistake to listen to the taxi mafia in the hall, but they'll swindle you anyway. Don't try to talk to them, use an app or the official taxi desk. There the fare would be fixed.

>Someone suggest me to use Maxim app for taxi, anyone try this before?

I use them, well, almost everyday, and they're somewhat mediocre, with a lot of immigrant drivers not knowing the city or the language, but with the GPS they manage. Yandex is slightly better and slightly costlier. Gett, Rutaxi, etc. I don't use. Uber in Russia is basically the same as Yandex, but if you already have an Uber app you can use it right away.

>Can I use credit card to Maxim or can I call the taxi in the airport with my SIM card? Any free WiFi at the airport? Thanks!

You may both, though as with Yandex you'd need to tie in your card first (the app checks the card by deducing $1 from your account, and then drops the transaction, so the money gets returned, this is normal and not a reason to worry). Free WiFi in the AP around the clock. There's also a taxi desk where you can order a taxi even without a a card or app. The cost is marked up somewhat, but no more than 50-70%, which is free compared to the taxi mafia in the arrival hall. Expect no more than 2000 rub to the downtown, the app price is ~1000 rub.

>With a taxi Maxime usually pay in cash!

I only ever pay them by card, and still live to tell the story. ;).
