Those who choose to switch concentrations are in a particularly tricky situation: Having lost my concentration adviser, I was left in a between-department vacuum. With the delay of concentration choice to the middle of sophomore year, Harvard should take the opportunity to seriously rethink its approach to advising—and hopefully steer its cumbersome bureaucracy towards catching the errors that really matter...
...Hill didn't sound so sure about that. Macau has unfrozen the funds in dispute, so if that's really the reason for the North's delay, Hill said, "if it's going to get resolved, then it certainly can be resolved very soon." Which leaves open the possibility that it won't be resolved because that's not in Pyongyang's interest. As Hill put it, "The ball is in the North Koreans' court...
...some students are blessed with advisers sensitive to their needs and intimately knowledgeable of the College’s courses of study, others are saddled with professors—or worse yet graduate students—who know next to nothing.

The roadblocks that have stood in the way of this change in the past—most notably an ongoing curricular review which is finally coming to a conclusion—are being lifted. There is no longer any reason for delay. Harvard is one of a few universities that drag students back to campus after a brief winter break to write term papers and take exams. It’s a cruel system that denies Harvard students a full or relaxing winter break and makes Cantabs the butt of many jokes...
