When I studied at Harvard Summer School between my junior and senior years of high school, I fell in love with the school not only because the curriculum challenged me to think critically and creatively, but also because the people I got to know in the program were some of the most interesting people I'd ever met and who became some of my best friends.

Each person has a different outlook on life and is willing to share it with others. This makes for interesting mealtime discussions, as well as stimulating roommate discussions. It makes everyone at Harvard more in tune with the world around them and the possibilities out there.
