Love wandering those halls.
- kough 9y agoI also couldn't put my finger on any specific difference, but it really does feel like the halls have a magic to them. (current undergrad, I'm sure you have more insight into what's going on)
- azinman2 9y agoDisagree. The culture is special, and that culture is what drives specific change. The bar is high, and because everyone around you is pushing themselves you end up pushing yourself further than you might have otherwise. The culture pushes you to think big and think impact. The institute gives you such permission to grow your ego in order to grow your work. Having Harvard nearby creates an even more special atmosphere as your social life often involves mixing with others on an intellectual level that spans subject matter. To me that’s just some of the magic.
