This was a really a nice project implemented by HSAC and sponsored by Student Government Association, and I was excited when I heard about the trip.  What I am sharing now is not about the “fact” that you can find (if you did) on the website, but about my own reactions; that’s why it’s a personal experience.  (There are many good events are going on at LaGuardia, so I would like to suggest that you always try to be aware of what’s happening in order to grab more opportunities like this trip.)

We departed from Pen Station at 2:30am and arrived in Boston around 8:00am.  The trip on the train was good, too, if you bring your computers.  The first thing that I was surprised to see at Harvard was that it didn’t have a college gate.  However, for me, one of the most impressive observations was the personality of the students and faculties I met there.  They were very polite and humble.  When I asked questions of the students there, they were patient and gave me detailed answers.  One of the professor even took time bring some of us for the tour, and shared a lot of information.  I did feel that their attitude helped them to be in the best university. 

The class we took there was Macroeconomics, but to be honest, that was hard to understand.  The professor was very confident; he taught very quickly without covering some simple steps, but if you make a request, he would explain your confusion.  But you don’t want ask stupid questions, since that would make the professor feel unhappy and bring yourself into embarrassment.  The students there were not very hardworking based on my observation during the class.  Most of them were a little bit late, and some of them were busy with dealing with their computers.  By the way, many of them bring iMacs to the class.  I don’t feel they were all very smart based on what I saw in the class.  There were still many of them who couldn’t follow what professor said or were afraid of asking questions.  By the way, two students asked a couple questions about algebra and calculus that I felt easy.  I do not know the whole story, but based on what I saw there, I suggest that all of you who meet the basic admissions requirement at Harvard, but are afraid of the difficulties of graduation there after being accepted, should at least try to apply.  The students there were just normal people; if they can graduate, why not you if you are accepted?
