BURS review on the renowned Harvard University

Known as the symbol of academic excellence, Harvard University has been standing tall since its inception in the year 1636, in the beautiful city of Cambridge in the Massachusetts. The university is indisputably the oldest and the most popular advanced learning academic institution of the country. It is the dream of nearly every other young high school student to become a student at the prestigious Harvard University one day.

To an outsider and a prospective student, the world behind the tall walls of Harvard campus may seem just the idyllic place in the world to be, however, they fittingly say that grass always seem greener on the other side. All is not so green about Harvard. The students of Harvard University are often under great pressure because of the cutthroat academic competition that they have to cope up with. Also, many of the alumni have stated that graduating from Harvard often increases the expectations of their prospective employers, which often puts them under immense stress.

However, being a Harvard student has its own perks that can never be ignored. Currently, the most selective and finest university of the country, Harvard’s academic merit is parallel to none. With extremely educated, experienced and helpful professors and a wide array of courses available, Harvard University is the Heaven on Earth for any young individual who has the thirst for knowledge. Harvard also has the most extensive library systems with the oldest and finest collection in the whole United States of America. In fact, Harvard libraries have the greatest private collection in the whole world!

Harvard prepares its students for the professional life and polishes their ability to cope up with the fast pacing world like no other university. It is because of this reason and the spotless reputation of the university that the Harvard graduates, within no time, are employed by the finest employers of today.

Now, Harvard is just not all about books! It is also a proud member of the eminent “Ivy League”. Every year the neck-to-neck competitive “Big Game” with Yale University, sets the Harvard athletes and students into school team spirit. Harvard also houses a number of clubs for nearly every popular social activity and varsity sports which makes the social lives of the students even more fun.

All things considered, it won’t be wrong to say that the rewards of being a Harvard student surely outweigh its shortcomings and all the hard work and energy that one spent during the college years, is worth it in the long run!
