Like almost everything else at Harvard, Freshman Week depends a lot on how you approach it. You and about 1600 equally nervous, eager, and thoroughly confused people will be subjected to a week of nonstop new things with new people, and even if you never stop moving around there'll be things that you miss, or will want to miss. There are, of course, several ways to cope with Freshman Week, and the pattern you choose will depend on your attitude coming in and how quickly you can adjust to a rather odd situation...

Alterations often come after a preview audience has seen the movie and filled out questionnaires, which are studied by Hollywood executives with the same kind of eager dread White House aides must feel when they pore over the latest Gallup.
