During that time, he came to realize how genuinely interested he was in film, and ended up studying film at MIT. He began working in non-fiction film, finding that “documentary filmmaking is a way to explore the world, a tool to think about the world.” Moss came to Harvard nearly 20 years ago to teach.

The latest report from the Consortium on Financing Higher Education (COFHE) put Harvard satisfaction levels at 3.95, compared to an average of 4.16 across the other 30 COFHE schools, a list that includes the Ivy League, MIT, Stanford, and various small liberal arts colleges...
