Useful life skills, reasonable expectations, and the ability to accept and learn from criticism are all lessons that many learn in their college years, yet we were largely isolated from these lessons by Harvard and its focus on academics and success. The whole college experience should be focused on much more than academics, and Harvard should strive in the future to focus as much on the non-academic aspects of growth and learning as it does on the learning in the classroom...
