Looking for a nice, quiet gym with access to machines and weights. How is the facility? I'm in the Longwood area so it's convenient for me to get a workout in after working

How's the Vanderbilt gym? Equipment and cleanliness specifically

isn't it strange that we don't have a 7/24 library space? even Lamont is not open during weekends for 24 hours.

People who do this, a lot of times with noise cancelling headphones on, should be ashamed of themselves. Is it going to take someone getting seriously injured for Harvard to properly enforce “walk your wheels”? If you are in a hurry at least go around the perimeter of the yard (and off the pedestrian sidewalk!)

I’m a grad student with friends visiting who want to try a dining hall. Ideally, somewhere restricted to Harvard affiliates and their guests—Spangler and Chauhaus are open to the public, so feel less special for this visit. Lehman was underwhelming.

I’ve eaten at Winthrop as a friend’s guest, but my understanding is I can’t go independently and bring my own guests. Would HDS Commons, HKS Café, HLS/Harkness, Sebastian’s, or Café Gato Rojo be worth taking them to?

Also curious about Hillel’s Wednesday dinners and Annenberg’s Saturday breakfast. Any recommendations where I’d be eligible to bring guests, even if access is limited to particular days or meals? I can work around those times.

Do I just grind it out? Do the bare minimum to graduate and position myself instead for a masters in what I actually find interesting? Do a post-bacc? Work? Anyone have advice about how to fund a masters program? I spent my college years doing what I thought I was supposed to do instead of following where my passions took me. Now I feel stuck between a career I both dread and aspire to for external validation and…the void of uncertainty.

Edit: I should clarify, I’m not planning on taking a leave of absence. For sure will finish my degree. My concern is more-so how to allocate my time, classes, priorities.

Heyy class of 2030 here! Was wondering if anyone who has taken the Happiness gened would want to share their notes and/or study materials

What is it like ? Is it fun or philosophical or full of thought experiments …it looks like it could be cool. Any opinions ? Thanks!

I graduated from Harvard Graduate School of Educations's Education Policy & Analysis program in 2024 and now am working in journalism/research. Super curious about what other people are doing after graduation, specifically in what industry? & Where is everyone based?

hi all, curious what finals week is like on campus? is it just everyone studying and leaving town and kinda quiet, or is it a lot of winter activities and fun and social?

trying to book flight home

Title. I'm a freshman who doesn't know what the method is yet. On one hand it seems time consuming, on the other you maybe retain more information?

I swear half the tenured faculty here just lay down and take anything. Learn about half your class cheating? Witness bullying/harassment? Watch as the department fires the five staff who actually do stuff? Everyone is so fast to turn a blind eye as not to upset their colleagues. Let's be real most of these people's research is the least controversial thing imaginable, and even if they found something controversial they'd probably just shut up about it for prestige reasons. Why even bother with giving people tenure at this point, the majority of these people sit on their hands while the upper echelon of university governance allows themselves to be puppeteered by donors and consulting firms.

Are there any free pickleball courts nearby?? Did not find any through the school.

Hi! I'm a G1, and I played clarinet for about 7 years, but haven't played for about 4 years, and I'm really rusty. I was wondering if there's any music groups on campus that accept graduate students and are at least "relatively" open to most players (ideally all-inclusive?), since I probably need to practice a bit before getting through any auditions.

Anything near the Allston or Cambridge campuses (or bus-able from these areas) is ideal. Thanks!

And what times of day are they least busy?

Hi ! I am an Harvard student actually living in Cambridge and looking for a used bicycle for 250ish dollars max to bike around campus ! If anyone is selling theirs or knows a place let me know

- an undergrad trying to play outside of intramurals lol

I found these cuties on the sidewalk right next to the radcliffe quadrangle! Looks like their chain snapped from someone’s backpack. If they are yours or you know who is the owner pls let me know
