...first two months of college, many eager freshmen will want to meet their fellow Harvardians. As a result, the ’Berg becomes a sea of introductions. Don’t be surprised when a beaming guy you’ve never seen before plops down across from you and chants: “Hi! My name is Adam! I’m from Denver, Colorado! I live in Canaday D!” While it might seem trite, take advantage of these early weeks to meet and greet, and welcome those who do the same. Yes, knowing someone?...
...There’s generally no need to cater towards professional schools. From what we’ve seen and been told, this is unnecessary.

LS1a covers the basic principles of molecular biology and chemistry that you will need for most upper-level courses. If you never took AP Bio or Chem, save yourself the struggle and take Life and Physical Sciences 1a, a course geared for students with limited background. You’ll get caught up in no time and won’t be much less prepared for subsequent courses...

If you waltz into your assigned section after the first small response paper and your TF sighs loudly and says, “the assignments were...uhhh...okay,” get out. Develop some “conflict” and switch until you find a more amenable section leader. You will...
