...this latest act by the FDO is more than a little disappointing. Intimidation of students, while not really surprising, is something which one would hope not to see from a school of Harvard’s caliber. The administration needs to relax, and stop trying to force undergraduates to fit into its picture of the model Harvard student...
...serious, who are taking 1,001 classes, saving babies, and being so concerned with the real world already, that it’s hard for people to just step back and laugh at themselves,” Okusanya complains. “To find a girlfriend who will relax and not take things so seriously and kind of be happy with the way things are and not stress you out is a difficult task...

Yet, by so doing, he rightly acknowledges that decisions about priorities while at college can only be made by individual students...
