Each student's plan of study is individualized, guided in the first year by a freshman adviser.
There is no "freshman program"; students make their own decisions about the level and pace at which to start their undergraduate study.
The faculty has determined that an undergraduate education requires the refinement of writing skills (through a single, one-semester course), a requirement all students address in their first year at Harvard.

Содержание слайда: Living at Harvard
Harvard guarantees housing all four years.
During their last three years, students live in a single House community, which ranges in size from 350 to 500 students.
At the end of the first year students choose friends with whom to block in the Housing lottery, which guarantees their placement together in one of the twelve residential Houses.
As in the Yard, rooming groups and bathrooms are single-sex and students generally live in suites of rooms.
Each House has its own library, dining hall and common rooms, and also offers a wide range of formal and informal advising resources through its resident and non-resident tutors and faculty fellows.
