Easily skipped over in favor of the next section. “Finance & Romance: 11 Inexpensive Date Ideas,” that paltry paragraph nonetheless holds to key to one of Harvard’s most overlooked arts programs.Offered to an ever-increasing number of students on significant financial aid, the SEF provides free tickets to any student-produced event sold through the Harvard...
