Ag's Review: Harvard University - Cambridge

Clearly not a perfect institution (what is), but overall it is hard to argue that the school's reputation is not deserved. This is a place where you will find people at the tops of their fields doing cutting-edge work, and it is entirely possible as an undergraduate to get to know your department's luminaries and get involved in that work. Furthermore, your classmates will likely continue to be a source of inspiration after graduation.
