Harvard University Reviews

There is inherent flexibility within the PhD program, where you take the classes needed to succeed in your field. There is no industrial exposure as standard.
Tuition fee: $66K, but no student is accepted without funding.
Harvard University is itself a brand university and pursuing BA in computer science was an awesome experience. Teachers are all well skilled and teach to the depth of the topic. The faculty to student ratio is normal and is about 1:25. A fully attentive student can gain knowledge of data structures, various programming languages, etc.
The tuition fee for my course was around 38.3 lakh INR per year with around $4000 extra as health insurance and other fees which included rent, etc. Costs around $6000. The university provides scholarships based on certain criteria.
The course is very interesting for the one who understands stuff but very blurry for people who have a habit of ratifying everything they cross.
It's the best like no other University as good as Harvard in the world rankings. The computer was chosen by me because I found its content interesting.
Harvard had an exceptional faculty, rich course offerings and plenty of flexibility. The courses were engaging and the pedagogy was spectacular. I would highly recommend it to all. A huge advantage is that they are very liberal with cross registration. While I was a student of the Ed school, I was also taking classes from the B school and Policy school. This is a great opportunity that you should not miss!

Harvard is a textbook "liberal arts" school, so its focus is on allowing people the freedom to learn what they like. Different people can be in the same program but end up pursuing totally different things. It is also very common to switch majors at Harvard, sometimes as late as in the third year. Because it is flexible, it allows students to get experience if they want to take time off, but Harvard doesn't set people up with co-ops. It does allow for a lot of research opportunities, however, and there is a large amount of funding available for student initiatives. Different majors had different amounts of rigor and flexibility. For example, mechanical engineering was one of the least flexible majors, and electrical engineering allowed its students significantly more choices. Government, applied math, and earth and planetary sciences are good examples of majors that had a good balance. Generally, at Harvard, the best majors are the oldest ones, or at least that was my experience.
