Harvard University absolutely lives up to the Bostonian colloquailism of being a "hub" of cultural and academic excellence, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have room for improvement in its adminsitrative and social policies.
Harvard is a community of friendly, multitalented, collaborative, and ambitious scholars, who treasure diversity, knowledge, and new experiences; all together, Harvard is a unique place known for its outstanding academic reputation and dedication to bettering society, but at the end, Harvard is the place it is today because of its scholars, who for four years enjoy the privilege of each others' company and the opportunity to learn and grow from each other.
Harvard is full of opportunities, and its greatest treasure is truly the students, faculty and rest of the community that make it up.

An engaging campus full of students eager to make the most of life; Harvard is full of active and exciting (not necessarily dorky) people.
Harvard is intense: intense work, intense pressure, intense learning, intense thinking, intense debates, intense expectations for the future, intense people... but also intense fun; everyone really wants to be here and really wants to learn, although a few people forget to live life at the same time.
