...either end...it’s surprising how lasting the relationships become.” While HCAP members speak fondly of their academic experiences abroad (museum visits!), it is the social and cultural interactions that stand out in their memories. Bunking up together in the Yard (or River, or Quad) makes for closer bonding, and not just due to the bathroom sharing. HCAP member Ana M. Franco ’10 hosted two Japanese delegates, and ended up sharing late-night bonding as well as her bed. Despite the early-morning events and lectures, the three girls stayed up chatting...

Why make a trek at eight in the morning when there?...
...only are Harvard’s policies harsh on those who live in the Quad, they are unfair to men. It might be possible to make a case for these hours were they actually advantageous for anyone. However, seeing how the policies are of effectively little use to anyone their only real effect is to discriminate against men who keep regular morning or afternoon workout hours. This seems fundamentally unfair...
